Situated some 30 km (18.64 mi) east of Zagreb, Ivanić-Grad was one of the bastions on the border between Croatia and the Ottoman Empire that was never breached over centuries of Turkish thrusting toward the West. By the late 19th century, Ottoman expansion was no longer a threat: of greater concern was Hungarian domination, following the 1867 Compromise (Ausgleich) that set up the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy and arbitrarily assigned Croatia to the Hungarian kingdom. Persistent attempts by Hungarian authorities to impose their language in civil affairs met with strong resistance from the Croats, acutely conscious and proud of their own Slav tongue and literary tradition, now flourishing after their renaissance earlier in the 19th century.
There are 2 elementary schools (OŠ Stjepana Basaričeka and OŠ Đure Deželića) and a high school (SŠ Ivan Švear) in Ivanić Grad. Current principals are : prof. Ksenija Pavlović (SŠ Ivan Švear), prof. Vlatka Koletić (OŠ Stjepana Basaričeka), prof. Marija Kostrevec (OŠ Đure Deželića).
