Pag is a Town located in the southern half of the island of the same name, close to the cast parallel to the Velebit mountain range, about 30 km north of Zadar. The teritorial unit was part of the Lika-Senj County until 1997 as a Municipality; in 1997 it was granted the Town status and moved to Zadar County.
