In the land registry of 1573, the Dominion of Ribnica possessed two farms in Mali Zapotok and one farm in Veliki Potok.[3] A water main was installed in the village in 1903 connected to a catchwater at Ograda Spring above Lipovšica.[3] During the Second World War, there were engagements between Partisan and Italian forces in June and July 1942.[3]
Zapotok annexed the formerly independent settlements of Mali Zapotok and Veliki Zapotok on 19 April 1952, ending their existence as separate settlements.[4][5]
ChurchEdit
The local church is dedicated to Saint Mark and belongs to the Parish of Sodražica. Its nave dates to the Middle Ages. It was extended in the 18th century.[6] Its stone paving dates from 1773. It formerly had a flat wooden ceiling; this was removed in 1865 and the nave was vaulted. The church's statue of Saint John is a work by Anton Miklič, and the main altar bears the signature of Anton Sajz, dated 1865. The two pseudo-Renaissance side altars date from the 19th century. According to folk tradition, a pagan temple once stood at the site of the church.[3]
