It was founded in 2009 by Ruža Tomašić and others as a splinter party from the Croatian Party of Rights. It is named after Ante Starčević (1823–1896). In 2011, they reported a membership of 20,000.[4] They had limited electoral success in local elections, such as winning three seats in Vukovar city council in 2011.[5]

In 2011, Croatian Party of Rights-Dr. Ante Starčević signed a pre-election coalition agreement with far right Croatian Pure Party of Rights.[6] In the 2011 Croatian parliamentary election, their coalition won one parliamentary seat.[7]

In late 2012, the party made a permanent coalition with the centre-right Croatian Democratic Union.[8] This coalition won the Croatian European Parliament election in 2013 and party president Ruža Tomašić was the highest ranking candidate on the winning list by preferential vote.[9] The party joined the European Conservatives and Reformists.[10]

On 3 November 2014, the party's founder and first president, Ruža Tomašić, left the party.[11]

The party dissolved in 2020.
