History
An Austrian post office was established in Žiri in 1871 as Sairach, district of Loitsch (Logatec). The Slovene name was added to the postal name at the end of the 19th century. The village has an elementary school and a lace school that has existed for over a hundred years. The first teacher at the lace school was Leopoldina Pelhan, who taught in Žiri for 30 years. Among her students was the lacemaker and designer Frančiška Giacomelli Gantar.
