Zagreb county - Zagrebačka županija
Named rather unimaginatively after the city of Zagreb that it surrounds, this Croatian county is all but unimaginative: its center, the city of Samobor has been there since 1242 (according to a document of endowment by king Bela IV), and is one of the first tourist resorts in the region, with first tourist facilities dating back to 1810 oriented towards anglers, hunters and hikers.
Today the county's marching forward by piggybacking on the development of the nation's capital which it surrounds. Several towns, once mere villages, such as Zaprešić, Velika Gorica or Sesvete (which is administratively part of the city now), are latching onto Zagreb's conveniently nearby industrial zones and becoming larger than some of the centers of other counties. And then there's the outer rim which sports recreational facilities for the many residents of Zagreb.
