Cakovec is the capital city of Medjimurje county. The coat of
arms is "Azure issuant from base a Massoned Wall embatteled
and with a Tower Argent between two Mullets Or". The coat of
arms is canting, as the most probable origin of the name Chaktornya
is Csaky's Tower, after the count Dimitry Csaky, high magistrate
and palatine on the court of king Bela IV (14th century). The
flag is blue with the coat of arms outlined in white set in the
middle.
Zeljko Heimer, 12 August 1996
The coat of arms of Cakovec is actually the family arms of
Ernusth de Csáktornya, lords of Cakovec from 15th century. In
16th century the family, its estates and also the coat of arms
was inherited by the Zrinski family, who marshalled the coat of
arms in their own.

This flag of Csáktornya (now Cakovec Town,

Városaink neve, címere és lobogója (1941) as
"Csáktornya, Zala Co. (H)". The flag is blue and white
vertical diband.

In April 1941 Hungary occupied and in December annexed
Cakovec. In April 1945 it lost it. The Treaty of Paris (1947)
reallocated it to Yugoslavia.
