The remains of an ice-age hunter's dwelling at Babja jama in Gorjuša date to some 15,000 years ago. There is archaeological evidence of pre-Roman settlement (Illyrian, Celtic). Roman finds date to the time of the road connecting Aquileia, Æmona (today Ljubljana, and Celeia (today Celje). The area is first mentioned in the 12th century A.D. and is thought to have been settled at least a century earlier. A local nobleman and owner of the castle Krumperk, Adam Ravbar, was a victor in the Battle of Sisak, June 1593, in which the Turkish army was defeated.
   Economic development accelerates in the 19th century with the industrialization of the local craft of straw weaving (Slovene slamnikarstvo), begun in the 18th century.
