At the classical times Stobrec was a signifícant sea-port town and, along with Tragurion (Trogir), the most ancient urban area on the eastern side of the Adriatic. It was founded and named Epetion by the Greek colonists from the the island of Vis (Issa) as early as the 3rd C. BC on the site of an older Illyrian settlement. Epetion developed close commercial relations with the neighbouring Illyrian settlements.
The most impressive evidence of the existence ofthe ancient Epetion is the remains of a Greek wall in the north of the peninsula. This wall represents a rare example of the city fortifications in this area dating back to the centuries BC.
The introduction of Christiamty marked a new era in the history of Epetion. This period saw the building of a late fifth-century basilica of which the remains are still visible in the very centre of the town. It was dedicated to St. Lawrence, a Roman martyr, after whom the town was named (etymology by Father Frane Bulic). In the course of time Stobrec had become a coastal region parish with the seat in Klis. The seventh century put an end to a millennium long urban life of Stobrec transforming it into a rural settlement.
