The 20th century brought industrialization, which was particularly visible after the end of the Great War. Before the beginning of the Second World War Sisak was an important center of river transport, metallurgical, chemical, timber and food industries. In the very early stages of war, local resistance fighters established a partisan unit name 'The Sisak partisan detachment'.

In the 4th century B.C. there was already a town in this area - first Segestica settled by the Celts and then Siscia, which during the Roman rule became a military, trading, crafts and administrative centre with well-known mint. From the 3rd century, in the period of Early Christianity, there was a diocesan centre. The most famous bishop was Quirinus, who has been declared saint for his exile and martyr's death.
