The predecessor of the current name Malo selo first appeared in written sources in 1398. At that time, the inhabitants of Mali Losinj were mostly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry. After many centuries of hard life, the place developed economically only in the 19th century.
The development of shipbuilding mainly contributed to the development of Mali Losinj - during this period, as many as eleven shipyards remained. Experienced sailors at that time had a stronger fleet than the cities of Trieste, Rijeka and Venice. Due to the shipbuilding activity, Mali Losinj began to flourish quickly and soon became the center of the island. The recent colorful history of the island and the city was affected by the occupation of neighboring countries. Today, the city is the cultural and administrative center of the island. The main economic industry is tourism, as Mali Losinj was already known as a climatic health resort in the last century. The qualities of Losinj tourism are clean sea and air as well as bays, beaches, local cuisine and promenades. The island's geomorphology is also an advantage, as it only takes 15 minutes to walk from the city center to any other side of the island. Accommodation is possible in hotels, villas, hostels, apartments, campsites and marinas, as well as private accommodation providers. The biggest local attractions are the church of St. Martina, the parish church of the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary with a square, the church of St. Nikolaj from 1875, Ambroz Haracic High School, Fritzy gallery, fish market in the city center and more.
The high school was built in 1975 in the shape of a ship with a command bridge, where knowledge of navigation, dating back to the long-ago year 1804, is still being transmitted. The Fritzy Gallery houses an art collection of Croatian and foreign European artists. Locals gather in the fish market in the morning and it offers the fresh catch of fishermen.
