History

In 1860–1879, Matija Mažuranić wrote a 62 folio manuscript today titled Writings on the Building of Roads in Gorski Kotar and Lika (Croatian: Spisi o gradnji cesta u Gorskom Kotaru i Lici), today with signature HR-ZaNSK R 6424. A 21 folio manuscript dated 1872 titled Darstellung der Entstehung des Baues ... der Luisenstrasse together with a translation by I. Mikloušić is kept as HR-ZaNSK R 4572.: 223 

The volunteer fire department DVD Kupjak was founded in 1929, and is today part of the VZ općine Ravna Gora. Its current commander is Igor Špoljarić.

The Italians withdrew from Kupjak on 25 January 1942. The Italians did not leave those towns along the railway, which they fortified with barbed wire.

On 12 December 2017, a severe wind hit Kupjak, blocking traffic to and from it along the Kupjak-Stubica road.
