Dugo Selo

History

In the late 19th and early 20th century, Dugo Selo was a district capital in the Zagreb County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.

Geography

Dugo Selo (lit. Long Village) is a 20 km drive from Zagreb city centre. The town covers an area of 51 km² and it consists of numerous settlements. The summit of the hill Martin Breg is situated in the northern part of the town. Most neighborhoods of Dugo Selo are located on the Martin Breg slopes. Dugo Selo is usually considered an exurb of Zagreb. It is also a part of Zagreb metropolitan area. The railway lines from Zagreb, to Koprivnica and to Novska connect to each other at a major railway station, which is located in the southern part of town. All three lines are part of Pan-European Corridors Vb and X respectively. The main thoroughfare of Dugo Selo is Ž3034 county road (Zagreb-Križevci), an east–west heavily travelled two-lane road. Because of the proximity, a substantial amount of inhabitants commute to Zagreb, thereby creating congestion during peak hours. The congestion on the Dugo Selo's part of the route is mild. The Ž3034 used to be classified as D41 state road before the D10 expressway was built.
