History of Trzic

As of 2007 the town had a population of 15,851. Much of the town's architecture was constructed in the Classicist style. The leather, wood, and textile industries were important to the economy of Tržič in the past but industrial activity declined after the breakup of Yugoslavia. The development of small business after this period is now an important branch of the economy.

Because of its alpine setting, alpine skiing is popular in the surrounding area. Tržič was the hometown of Countess Francisca von Strassoldo Grafenberg, wife of the Austrian general
