Bistrica pri Tržiču was attested in written sources as Fuistriza between 1050 and 1063, Fistricium in 1247, and Fewstricz in 1391, among other spellings.[3] The name of the settlement was changed from Bistrica to Bistrica pri Tržiču in 1953.[4] In the past the German name was Feistritz.[2]
Northeast of the settlement's core stands St. George's Church, a chapel-of-ease of the Parish of Tržič. It is a 15th-century Baroque-redesigned Gothic church with a late-Gothic chancel and a coffered ceiling. The furnishings are from the 19th century.
