Abstract
During the early years of the 20th century Koprivnica went through the phase of rapid development and economic and political growth which was replaced by a period of stagnation and decline which lasted from 1913 to 1918.
Traders and local industrialists were the two main driving forces of the economic growth. This paper shows Koprivnica harmonious development from 1901 to 1913 with the peaceful coexistence of different nationalities and religions which certainly contributed to the economic success. The incoming war stopped any further development and brought disharmony in a society.
Press, literature and archival documents were used to point out the main subjects of that comprehensive development which included government, education, social life, commerce, trade and industry - all elements which influenced the city development in that particular time.
