Duga Resa is a town in Karlovac County, Croatia. It is located about 65 km southwest of Zagreb and 100 km east of Rijeka.
Name
[edit | edit source]The earliest reference to Duga Resa is from the year 1380. There are several theories on how the then-village acquired its name: one is that "resa" is a reference to the town people's folk costumes; another is that it is named from a native plant that grows in the area, both on the land and in the water.
History
[edit | edit source]The first known electric generator in Croatia was introduced in Duga Resa in 1880 to power the textile industry in the town.[3]
