History
The first football club in Zadar was established in 1876 and was named AC Dalmazia. The club played mostly in Italian leagues until 1945, when the communist government came to power in Yugoslavia.

On February 9, 1949, the football department was spun off as NK Zadar.[1]
In 1992, as Zadarkomerc the club was a founding member of the [First League]. Since 2001, the club has officially been called NK Zadar.
