Summary/Abstract: The author describes the contacts between Stjepan Radić and the northern part of the Bjelovar-Križevci County since 1886. He formed the organisational nucleus of the future party in mid May 1904 in Drnje; Novigrad, Molve and Virje followed. Taking into account the activities of Stjepan Radić and how well his ideas were accepted, it may be concluded that the Croatian Peasant Party was “born” in the Bjelovar-Križevci County. Furthermore, the following members of the first Temporary Committee of the Croatian Peasant Party (at the beginning of 1905) originated from this County: Tomo Jalžabetić (Đurđevac), Dr. Svetimir Korporić (Hlebine) and Peroslav Ljubić (Virje). In 1908, Stjepan Radić won the elections for the Croatian Parliament in the election district of Novigrad Podravski; thereby, he was nominated a Member of Parliament.
