[[
As
In the year 124, during the reign of [[Hadrian]], the area gained additional autonomy as '''Municipium Iassorum'''. Stretching between the rivers [[Sava]] and [[Drava]], on the roads which ran between Siscia-[[Mursa]], (Sisak- [[Osijek]]), [[Salona]]–[[Aquincum]], and [[Sirmium]]–[[Poetovio]], the town was easy to access. After Hadrian, [[emperor]]s [[Marcus Aurelius]], [[Commodus]], [[Septimius Severus]], and [[Constantine I (emperor)|Constantine I]] all visited Aquae Balissae's [[Thermal bath|thermal]] complex, its decorated [[temple]], its [[Forum (Roman)|forum]], and its [[amphitheatre]] (although it was smaller than the one in [[Pula]]).
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the destruction of local tribes by Avar Kaghanate in 6th century, this area was resettled by Croats, a Slavic tribe that reached the Balkans in 7th century.
In the 11th century the [[region]] became part of a mightier entity, that of [[Križevci, Croatia|Križevci]], a rapidly growing and politically important city. It became part of the [[archdiocese]] of Zagreb mentioned by legislators for the first time in 1334.
Since the city was on a busy crossroads, there were four trading points within the valley — Četvrtkovac, Dimičkovine, Podborje, and Toplice (''toplice'' = "spas" in Croatian). For more than a millennium, the spas continued to attract people as a destination. The population in that period was exclusively [[Catholic Church|Catholic]].
In the 15th and 16th centuries, all that changed. Expansion of the [[Ottoman Empire]] disrupted the steady development, and [[Turkic peoples|Turks]] occupied lands here in 1543. The [[Monastery]] of ''St King Ladislaus'' was degraded, becoming a Turkish defensive post looking into the ''Krajina'', a [[military]] zone created to protect the [[Habsburg]] Empire just west of the city. Local people fled from Turks.
In 1699 the Habsburg Empire expelled the Turks. The ethnically mixed area came under the rule of [[Vienna]] in 1745. [[Podborje]], [[Sirač]], and [[Pakrac]] were bought by [[count]] [[Antun Janković]], who in 1771 renamed Podborje as Daruvar, (''daru'' = "[[crane (bird)|crane]]" in [[Hungarian language|Hungarian]]), after a building of his called the '''Crane's [[castle]]'''.
In 1837 Daruvar was declared a [[royal free city|free city]] by [[decree]] of [[monarch|king]] [[Ferdinand I of Austria|Ferdinand I]]. The monarch's government recruited migrant farmers from southern Bavaria and other areas to repopulate the area and re-establish agriculture in the Danube River valley. They also recruited people skilled in [[craft]]s and [[trade]]. Germans, Hungarians, Czechs, Italians (around so called [[Little Italy]]), and others were invited to come. The government promised that they could practice their own religions (most were Catholic) and languages.
The [[volunteer fire department|DVD]] "Tvornica pumpi MPD" was founded in Daruvar in 1850.<ref>{{cite web |date=2022 |first1=Nikola |last1=Jagodin |first2=Vedran |last2=Runjić |title=Popis vatrogasnih organizacija s datumima osnivanja |url=https://mhv.hr/popis-vatrogasnih-organizacija-s-datumima-osnivanja |website=Muzej hrvatskog vatrogastva |archive-date=2023-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230130104803/https://mhv.hr/popis-vatrogasnih-organizacija-s-datumima-osnivanja |language=hr |trans-title=List of Firefighting Organisations with Date of Founding}}</ref>

In the late 19th and early 20th century, Daruvar was part of the [[Požega County]] of the [[Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia]]. Parts of Daruvar's suburbs were briefly captured by militants from the [[SAO Western Slavonia|Serbian Autonomous Oblast of Western Slavonia]] during the [[Croatian War of Independence]].

==Spas==
{{unreferenced section|date=August 2016}}
Water treatments benefiting [[health]] were well known to mentioned Iassi tribes here almost 2,500 years ago, later widely used by Romans and in the Middle Ages. In 1772 the owner of the area Antun Janković started building around the [[spring (hydrosphere)|springs]], envisioning correctly that the town might become a healing, leisure, and recreation center again as it was through the course of history. He erected numerous buildings, many of them still functional (''Anton's spa'', ''Ivan's spa''). After 1897 the newly opened [[railroad]] brought new visitors. Restaurant ''Teresa'', ''Swiss [[villa]]'', ''Villa Arcadia'', and ''Big Mud Spa'' with its prominent [[dome]] and today well known city mark were all built during the turn of 19 and 20th century.
Daruvarske Toplice is a special hospital complex for rehabilitation specializing in treatment of female [[fertility]] (primary and secondary [[infertility|sterility]]), with two [[clinic]]s for esthetic [[surgery]]. Warm waters (33 to 47 [[Celsius|°C]]) are also used in postoperative rehabilitation, treatment of [[inflammation]]s, [[rheumatism]], the trauma of bones, hips, [[Human head|head]], [[vertebral column|spine]], and [[animal locomotion|locomotion]]. More spas are around [[Pakrac]] and [[Lipik]], where there is also a [[mineral water]] bottling plant. The park within the complex is positioned containing 65 different kind of trees such as a 250-year-old [[Ginkgo biloba|Ginkgo]] tree from China, ''[[variegation|Variegatum]]'' from [[Arizona]], and others. Hotel ''Termal'', renovated and extended in 1996, is also here. A smaller hotel, ''Balisse'', is a few minutes walking distance away in the [[traffic]]-friendly downtown.
==Tourism==
The area is rich in [[monument]]s. Historic ''Kistalovac'', ''Pavlovina'', ''Sirač'', ''Bagenovać'', ''[[Dobra Kuća]]'', and ''Stupčanica'' are examples of numerous local castles belonging to the Croatian [[nobility]] of the times passed by. [[Franciscan]] [[monastery|monasteries]] like those of ''St. Margareth'', ''St. Ana'', ''St. Three Kings'', and the [[Church (building)|Church]] of ''Holy Trinity'' are witnesses of the rich religious culture.

==Economy==
{{unreferenced section|date=August 2016}}
German people who came here in the 18th century as well as Czechs in the 19th were the keystone of the revival participating in agriculture, food processing plants, culture, and education. The [[Economic development|development]] was accelerated at the turn of the century by being connected to the [[railroad]] track from [[Banova Jaruga]] to [[Barcs]] in Hungary. An important historic moment in 1897 was witnessed by the emperor [[Franz Joseph]] himself. Since 1840 a [[brewery]] is operating here producing today more than 250,000 [[hectoliters]] of beer based upon an old and famous Czech [[recipe]]s, with ''Old Bohemian'' (''Staročeško pivo'') brand being the most known. ''Zdenka'' of [[Veliki Zdenci]] is well known for its milk and melted cheese processing plant.
[[Fish]] is cultivated in [[artificial lake]]s around [[Končanica]] and processed within ''Irida''. Here are local high quality vines as [[Graševina]] (ranking the highest), [[Rhein Riesling]], [[Chardonnay]], and [[Sauvignon blanc|Sauvignon]]. Here fruit, [[maize]], wheat, meat, and other agriculture [[product (business)|products]] are produced for local, national, and wider [[Market (economics)|market]]s. ''Dalit'', created in 1905, is a metal processing plant, once one of the biggest in what was once [[Yugoslavia]], employing today 320, but in the late 1970s almost 2,000 people. A flat glass factory is in Lipik. There are small [[graphics]] and [[printing]] (''Daruvarska Tiskara d.d.'', ''Logos'') facilities and the [[textile]] plant ''Vesna'', which employs around 200. Growing is the importance of trade, tourism, and [[communication]]. 2300 people are employed, one-third of them women.
==Education==
The first school was opened in 1856.{{sfn|Herout|2016|p=52}} A school for women was opened here in 1866.{{sfn|Herout|2016|p=59–60}}
