Gas and crude oil deposits were found first in Croatia here, in Selnica and Peklenica, in 1856. The latter got its name from the word "pekel", meaning "hell" in the local dialect, since the people quickly noticed the peculiar properties of the dark, greasy liquid in small ponds appearing spontaneously on the ground. At the time, reserves were calculated to be around 170,000 t. There was exploitation from 1886 to 1889 and even in the 20th century when world demand was in its infancy, and no other sources were even needed.

The central city as a locality was called Aquama ("the wet city"), because the area was marshland. Many different tribes, such as Huns, Visigoths, and Ostrogoths, passed through the region later. Since 1093, when the Archdiocese of Zagreb was established, this area has always been part of mightier Zagreb despite the interests of different powers and consequently numerous clashes to try to cut that bond. During the century, tradesmen and merchants (mostly ethnic Germans) started to arrive and to facilitate the creation of the urban localities that we know today. Prelog was founded in 1264, shortly after the invasion by Mongols in 1242.

Čakovec got its name thanks to the count Dimitry Csaky (Dimitrij Čak), who at the beginning of the 13th century erected the timber fortification that eventually was named "Csaky's tower", mentioned for the first time in 1328. With the decree of king Robert in 1333, the fortified settlement on the location of today's Čakovec was announced to be the capitol. It was given as a gift in 1350 to then viceroy (ban), Stjepan I Lacković, a member of the Lackovic family ruling Transylvania. Faster development occurred after 1547 under Nikola Šubić and the rest of the Zrinski family ruling the area between 1546 and 1671. In 1579, the population of craftsmen and merchants outside the walls was granted the right to trade, which was the beginning of the formal and legal city structure. The area was of importance as a trade center with Hungary positioned just on the main roads, facilitating the exchange of goods, crafts, and ideas.

The most important era was the period during the 16th and 17th centuries when Čakovec was the headquarter of Croatian rulers, military leaders and intellectuals, among whom the Zrinski family is the most famous. Nikola Zrinski (1620 - 1664) distinguished himself in the wars against the Turks. At the coronation of Ferdinand IV, he carried the sword of state and was made captain-general of Croatia.

In 1786, 1048 people resided in the town. In 1849 Josip Jelačić, a national and political military leader, pushed the Hungarian forces from that region, and soon the city was freed by political decree.
