It was first mentioned in 1261 under name Kulod,[citation needed] while in 1330 it was mentioned as Kulund,[citation needed] and several years later as Bel-Kulund[citation needed] during the administration of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary. During Ottoman administration (16th-17th century), the village of Kolut was populated by ethnic Serbs[citation needed]. In the 18th century, Germans and Hungarians settled here as well. After World War II, the village was settled by 436 families from Lika and Gorski Kotar.
