Kozjan is located in a high narrow valley accessible from Bunić and the Croatian village of Čanak by dirt track only. The village is now deserted, save a few houses which appear to be used as holiday homes. The surnames of Barać, Hinić, Knežević and Svilar existed in the village which perhaps numbered no more that 200 at its peak.
There are descendants of Kozjan families in the USA and the few found so far in the record are listed below.
