The dialect evolved in the first half of the 19 century. The town's early begins (late 18 century) started with the population of the neighbouring Blatta (modern Blato) setting up a town in the large bay of Vallegrande. In Romance Dalmatian bluta means wafer (or host). Etymology is from Latin oblāta. In Croatian blato means mud.
It is believed that there were two hamlets in the bay, Vallegrande and Bobovishca.
Trying to re-tell the history of this part of the world (Old Dalmatia) is fraught was problems. The Yugoslav Communist party was the main driving force in all social matters within the former Yugoslavia. It created historic falsehoods to promote its own political authoritarian agenda.
We can definitely confirm that from the 9th century onwards that there were two ethnic communities living on the island in the middle ages, one being of Roman Empire descendant and the other of Croatian-Slavic descendant. With the Serbian forces being annihilated in the Battle of Kosovo by the Ottoman Empire in 1389 a migration of peoples stated to migrant west ward. Dalmatia as did the island of Korcula started to acquire new peoples in its region (i.e., Croatians, Serbs & Albanians). This combined with the Black Plague depleting the island population the Venetian authorities brought new families to the island of Korcula. Amgmost these where Shokavian Slavic speakers.
If the translation of the Defence of Korcula from Ottoman attack in 1571 (written by Antun-Antonio Rozanovic) is untainted we can see that the majority of the defenders of the island were by 1571 of Croatian-Slavic decent. If we use this as a reference then from 1570s onwards the majority of Korcula's population was of Croatian-Slavic decent.
