The settlement, which is considered today as fundamental settlement of the city, already in the Roman period was polje on the way from Virunum to Gosposvetsko known in Emona. When the original settlement was destroyed by an avalanche of snow, the residents moved into lower-lying parts of the valley.

The metal shutters and doors - unusual for that time, fire safety measure - were the European peculiarity. In 1846, the shoemaking was designated as commercial. This was very important for Tržič because almost every house was a cobbler's workshop here. 300 years shoes have been produced here and the city was considered shoe capital of the former Yugoslavia. Meanwhile, the business is but stalled and only remember some of the buildings, roads and utility items on this once- lucrative sector.
