Čabar

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

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

Čabar was first mentioned in 1642 in an urbarium of Petar Zrinski. Due to its vicinity to mining sites in the area, the Zrinski family established a lead smelter, which prompted economic development and immigration of workers, primarily from Carniola.

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.

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

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. It is the seat of the VZ Čabar, founded in 1969, which oversees the volunteer fire departments of nearby towns.
