History

Situated some 30 km (18.64 mi) east of Zagreb, Ivanić-Grad was one of the bastions on the border between Croatia and the Ottoman Empire that was never breached over centuries of Turkish thrusting toward the West.
Until 1918, Ivanić-Grad (named MILITÄR KLOSTER IVANIC near 1850[3] ) was part of the Austrian monarchy (Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia after the compromise of 1867), in the Croatian Military Frontier, WARASDIN-KREUTZER Regiment N°V.
Persistent attempts by Hungarian authorities to impose their language[4] in civil affairs met with strong resistance from the Croats, acutely conscious and proud of their own Slav tongue and literary tradition, now flourishing after their renaissance earlier in the 19th century.
Famous people
- Juraj Krnjević was one of the principal leaders of the Croatian Peasant Party (HSS) wholly devoted to achieving Croatian democracy and freedom.
