The earliest written mention of the village of Čaprazlije was by Dragičev in 1741. He was visiting Catholic villages in the Livanjsko Polje. Friar Grga Lozić wrote more about the village and claimed that the village was once called Skučani. He wrote that the village was renamed after the death of Čaprazli Bey at Brižina. In some church documents, Čaprazlije is called Sarumiševo. Other documents state the word čep (meaning a plug Serbo-Croatian) as an etymological root for the village's name. During flooding, typically from October to March, springs in the area get blocked with debris and a plug is formed causing water to flood the surrounding land.
In 1768 among the inhabitants were 80 Catholics. By 1813 the number of Catholics grew to 104. In 1768 the following families were residing in Čaprazlije: Barać, Glavurdić, Grame, Bošković, Hrgović, Jukić, Kujundžija, Ljubičić, Odak, Smoljić, Tokić.[1]
