It was formerly part of the Roman province of Pannonia, and was settled by Slovenians around the 6th century. It was controlled by Austrian Habsburgs (1335 - 1918) and was a site of Turkish raids and peasant rebellions (15th - 17th centuries). It was part of the Illyrian Provinces of France 1809 - 1814 and reorganized under Austria-Hungary (1849). The capital city of Carniola is Kranj.
