Križevci is a town in northern Croatia with a total population of 21,122 and with 11,231 in the town itself, It is the oldest town in its county, the Koprivnica-Križevci County. The first mention of "Upper Križevac" was in 1193 by Béla III, when it was given the status of a Royal Borough in 1252 by the ban Stephan, and which was confirmed by King Béla IV a year later. "Lower Križevac" developed somewhat slower than its twin town: it became a free royal city in 1405, thanks to king Sigismund.
