The first records of inhabitants in Jakuševec area date back to 1334 as "Parochia Sancti Marci Ev. in campo" ({{langx|en|Parish of St. Mark the Evangelist in the field}}), which is the name recorded up to 1501. At that time, the parish' name is changed to "Parocha Sancti Marci Ev. in spinis" ({{langx|en|Parish of St. Mark the Evangelist among the thorns}}). However, during the leadership of pastor Josip Vitković, the parish is renamed in 1871 to "Parish of Jakuševec" ({{langx|hr|Jakuševečka župa}}).{{cite web |url=http://www.jakusevec.4t.com/jakusevec.htm |title=Naselje Jakuševec |work=Udruga za zaštitu okoliša Jakuševec |language=Croatian |access-date=10 May 2009}}
