Čabar is a town in Primorje-Gorski Kotar County in western Croatia.

Name

[edit]

Čabar is known as Čeber in the local dialect. The name is believed to derive from the Illyrian word ziaber 'clearing'.[3]

History

[edit]

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Čabar was a district capital in the Modruš-Rijeka County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.

On 21 February 1852 by a decree of the Ban of Croatia and Slavonia, Josip Jelačić, a Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Croatian: Trgovačko-obrtna komora) was to be founded in Rijeka with jurisdiction over Čabar. It was founded, and began to function on the 11th of March that year.[4]: 40 

In late 1899, the local chapter of the HPS, HPD "Rudnik", was founded on the initiative of the Ghyczy de Csubar family.[5] It had to be refounded under president A. Cividini in late 1935.[6] In 1935, the Mirko Župan presidency began on 12 October 1935, succeeding Dr. Muhvić. In 1935, it had 47 members.[7] Under Župan, "Rudnik" opened its own library.[8] Membership rose to 55 in 1937.[9]: 240  Membership rose to 56 in 1938.[10]: 240 

The volunteer fire department DVD Čabar was founded on 1909 by Fran Vidović, Slavko Brovet, Fran Plivelić, Fran Knafe, Josip Repinc and Vilim Turk. The first firefighter house (Croatian: vatrogasni dom) was opened in 1936, and a new one was opened in 1969.[11] It is the seat of the VZ Čabar, founded in 1969, which oversees the volunteer fire departments of nearby towns.[12]

Recent

[edit]

Čabar was hit by the 2014 Dinaric ice storm. From 31 January to 2 February, while S and SW geostrophic wind dominated,[15] freezing rain fell on Gorski Kotar, glazing the entire region. It wrecked roofs, power lines an forests, causing power loss for about 14,000 households households in Gorski Kotar, or about 80% of its population. It took about 10 days to restore essential infrastructure to the region, and within months electricity was back in most of its former range, but at a cost of about 84.4 million HRK to HEP. At the time it was the largest peacetime damage since its Secession from Yugoslavia, even without counting the forestry losses.[16] Clearing blocked forestry roads and forest paths would take years, and thanks to the declining population some were never cleared.[17] All three main power lines in Fužine were severed, leaving Čabar without electricity.[18]

Demographics

[edit]

In 1870, Čabar općina, in Delnice podžupanija, had 324 houses, with a population of 2415. Its 19 villages were divided into 2 porezne obćine for taxation purposes. Parishes included Čabar and Trstje.[19]: 9 

In 1890, the općina of Čabar (court at Čabar), with an area of 111 square kilometres (43 sq mi), belonged to the kotar of Čabar (Čabar court) in the županija of Modruš-Rieka (Ogulin court and financial board). But it was under the electoral district of Delnice. There were 361 houses, with a population of 2161. Its 19 villages and 2 hamlets were divided for taxation purposes into 2 porezne obćine, under the Delnice office. In the 284 square kilometres (110 sq mi) Delnice kotar, there were a total of 1183 houses, with a population of 6848. Its 59 villages and 14 hamlets were divided into 6 porezne obćine. The kotar had no markets. Čabar kotar was divided into 4 općine. Besides itself: Gerovo, Plešce, Prezid.[20]: iv, v 

In 1910, the court of Čabar encompassed an area of 284 square kilometres (110 sq mi), with a population of 7,632 (smallest under Ogulin high court). Čabar had its own cadastral jurisdiction, but its business court was in Ogulin.[21]: xxxii
