Kazaginac is a village in the municipality of Tomislavgrad in Canton 10 of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] The village is also part of the smaller Buško Blato micro-region, consisting of those villages and settlements surrounding the lake known as Buško jezero.

Etymology[]
The roots of the name Kazaginac are thought to be Turkish in origin. The Turkish word kaza means "district" while the Turkish agha refers to "master".[3] Kazaginac thus refers to the property owned by the kazaga, a reference to Ottoman times where the landholding class was usually members of the ruling Muslim population.

The road passing through Kazaginac is an ancient route dating back to Roman times. It linked Salona (today's Solin) and Delminium (today's Tomislavgrad), then the capital of the Delmatae, an ancient people who inhabited a good portion of the land known as Dalmatia. It served as an important trade route between the Adriatic and Balkan interior during this period.
In literature, Kazaginac is mentioned very late in history. The name was first mentioned in 1844 when there were 83 people living in 7 houses. By 1867, the population rose to 129 people.[3]
According to the 2014 census, there were 73 households and 319 people registered living in 72 dwellings.[4]
Historically, this village has traditionally been populated by ethnic Croats of the Catholic faith.
