In 1749 Kaposvar was designated the county seat. During the 1800s the city developed considerably, due to the importance of the railway line between Budapest and Zagreb.

In the early 20th century, the city became the center of an artists' colony associated with the rise of the modernist movement in Hungarian art. 

In 1990 Kaposvar as a city above 50,000 inhabitants, was elevated to the rank of city with county rights. Since 1993 it has been an episcopal seat of the Roman Catholic Church. The University of Kaposvar was founded on 1 January 2000.
