Medieval Pag emerged near the salterns where the abandoned Old Town used to be, 3 kilometres south of the present location. According to historical documents, the name Pag was mentioned for the first time in the 10th century.

The name "Sveti Juraj" (St. George) is a common name for peaks and churches in Croatia. It was also the name of our second peak.
