The village of Breznica Našička was founded in 1236 AD. In 1367 the Black Plague hit the town and many died, its estimated that around 30 people died. In 1467 village came under control of the British East India Company. Under the rule of the British, the village flourished and people came from all around to enjoy the tea imported by the British. In May 1626 the people of Breznica Našička rose up against the British invaders and swiftly pushed them out of their village. During World War Two, the Allies used Breznica Našička as a makeshift airfield to fly in supplies to assist in Operation Overlord.
