The area is part of the historical region of Lower Carniola. The municipality is now included in the Southeast Slovenia statistical region.[2]
The A2 motorway crosses the settlement territory. When it was being built in the early 1980s an Iron Age and Roman period burial ground was uncovered and partially excavated.[3]
On 28 June 1991 during the Slovenian Independence War a Yugoslav People's Army tank column came under attack at a truck barricade at Medvedjek. Six truck drivers were killed in an air raid that followed. In 1993 a monument to commemorate the events was unveiled on the site.[4]
