History
The village was founded in 1236 AD. In 1367, the Black Plague hit the village, killing approximately thirty people.
In 1467, the village came under the control of the British East India Company, not regaining its independence until May 1626. During World War Two, the Allies used Breznica Našička as a makeshift airfield to fly in supplies to assist in Operation Overlord.
