Cazin has several historic places, some dating back to the 14th century. The [[Ostrožac Castle]] and Radetina Tower are located in Cazin. During the [[Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Middle Ages|Middle Ages]], the city served as the seat of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Knin|Roman Catholic bishop of Knin]].<ref>HAMDIJA KREŠEVLJAKOVIĆ, 1953, STARI BOSANSKI GRADOVI (VIEUX BOURGS BOSNIAQUES)

The [[Cazin uprising]] of 1950, an armed [[Criticism of communist party rule|anti-communist rebellion of peasants]], occurred in Cazin and neighboring [[Velika Kladuša]] and [[Slunj]], which were all part of the [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]] at the time.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cazin.net/cazin/20104-cazinska-buna-1950-danas-se-navrsavaju-62-godine-od-ustanka-u-krajini.html|title=CAZINSKA BUNA 1950: Danas se navršavaju 62 godine od ustanka u Krajini|publisher=Cazin|date=6 May 2012|access-date=11 February 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120609074308/http://www.cazin.net/cazin/20104-cazinska-buna-1950-danas-se-navrsavaju-62-godine-od-ustanka-u-krajini.html|archive-date=9 June 2012}}</ref> The peasants revolted against the forced [[collectivization]] and [[Collective farming|collective farms]] by the [[Prime Minister of Yugoslavia#SFR Yugoslavia|Yugoslav government]] on the farmers of its country.

Following a drought in 1949, the peasants of Yugoslavia were unable to meet unrealistic quotas set by their government and were punished. The revolt that followed the drought resulted in the killings and persecution of those who organized the uprising, but also many innocent civilians.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.haber.ba/vijesti/bih/9007-klanjana-kolektivna-dzenaza-zrtvama-cazinske-bune-iz-1950-godine-foto.html|title=Klanjana kolektivna dženaza žrtvama Cazinske bune iz 1950. godine|publisher=Haber|date=11 May 2012|access-date=11 February 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222153014/http://www.haber.ba/vijesti/bih/9007-klanjana-kolektivna-dzenaza-zrtvama-cazinske-bune-iz-1950-godine-foto.html|archive-date=22 February 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.radiosarajevo.ba/novost/80388|title=Vera Kržišnik Bukić i Cazinska buna|publisher=Radio Sarajevo|date=4 May 2012|access-date=11 February 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222013106/http://www.radiosarajevo.ba/novost/80388|archive-date=22 February 2014}}</ref> It was the only peasant rebellion in the [[history of Europe]] that occurred during the [[Cold War]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=USI4AAAAQBAJ&q=cazin+rebellion&pg=PT207|title=Rock and Hard Places: Travels to Backstages, Frontlines and Assorted Sideshows|year=2010|isbn=9781593763794|access-date=11 February 2014|last1=Mueller|first1=Andrew|publisher=Soft Skull Press }}{{Dead link|date=May 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
