Homer is a village in Croatia, in the Lokve municipality, in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County.
History
During WWII, Homer ended up on the border of Croatia. On 8 June 1942, a group of Partisans attacked Homer, from which the Croatian border guards retreated. The Partisans carried out certain robberies and then retreated. At 6:30 on the 10th, Partisans intercepted an armed patrol from Lokve of 2 at Homer, heavily wounding Ivan Matijević in the battle, capturing and disarming Petar Ivićević and letting him return to Lokve. After disarming Matijević, a villager took him to Lokve where an Italian military doctor administered first aid and then transferred him to the Italian military hospital in Delnice.[3]

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.[4]: 223
The "Gorski Kotar Bike Tour", held annually since 2012,[5] sometimes goes through Homer, such as in the first leg for 2022 and the first leg for 2023.[6][7]
