Čazma is one of the oldest towns in Croatia. It was mentioned back in 1094, when the Hungarian king Ladislav gave Čazma away as a property to the Zagreb bishop upon the Zagreb Diocese founding. Formerly, Kaptol was established in the Diocese, where Herceg Koloman, king Bela IV's brother, ruled Croatia. At the end of 19th century it was the centre of the municipality's government. The year which is celebrated as the year of Čazma's founding is 1226, when the bishop Stjepan II Babonić founded a parish at the bank of the river and built a Dominican monastery, as well as today well known for its monumental and cultural value, the church of St. Mary Magdalene.

The town of Čazma is situated in the North-West part of Croatia in the Bjelovar-Bilogora County. It is only 60 km far from and app. 30 km from the region centre. It is situated on the last remains of Moslavačka mountain, which turns into rich plains towards the river Česma, forming tame and geographically different characteristics pleasing everyone's taste.

It is rich on natural raw materials, such as quartz sand and water, which are seen as future economy potentials. It also relies on pure nature, i.e. ecological agriculture and village tourism.
