History
In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1477.
The village was mainly occupied with agriculture, holding livestock and producing cereals, hops and grapes. In 1769, there were mentions of vineyards in Štvrtok, and surrounding villages. However, local vineyards disappeared in the second half of the 19th century, likely due to the spread of phylloxera.[4]
