It is the site of the city's largest landfill, the city's biggest used car market (referred to as "Hrelić" which is actually a separate settlement further south) and the Zlatni Konj art gallery.
The first records of inhabitants in Jakuševec area date back to 1334 as "Parochia Sancti Marci Ev. in campo" , which is the name recorded up to 1501. At that time, the parish' name is changed to "Parocha Sancti Marci Ev. in spinis" . However, during the leadership of pastor Josip Vitković, the parish is renamed in 1871 to "Parish of Jakuševec" . Jakuševec remained a standalone village until 1991 when it was integrated along with several adjacent villages into the City of Zagreb.
