Before the Croatian War of Independence, Grabovo had 192 inhabitants. In 1991, 154 inhabitants were expelled from Grabovo, and to this day no one has returned to Grabovo.[8]

Ovčara is best known for the Ovčara camp and the Ovčara massacre of 1991.

Ovčara and Jakobovac each used to be registered as a standalone settlement, but were joined under the name Grabovo in 1991, and subsequently administratively split in 2001.[9]
