Zagreb county - Zagrebačka županija

Named after the city of Zagreb, this Croatian county is very historic: its center, the city of Samobor has existed since 1242, and was one of the first tourist resorts in the region.

Today the county is developing along with the nation's capital. Several towns, once villages, such as Zaprešić, Velika Gorica or Sesvete (which is administratively part of the city now), are latching onto Zagreb's nearby industrial zones and becoming larger than some of the centers of other counties. The outer rim contains recreational facilities for the residents of Zagreb.
