The magazine was started in 1904, during the CFU's presidency of Josip Marohnić, its founder and the first president.[3]

Zajedničar is headquartered and printed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It is published in dual-language format with the first section in English and the second section being a full Croatian translation. Since 2009, the newspaper is also distributed in PDF format. The paper is the only ongoing Croatian-language newspaper in the United States.

Another publication called Narodni Zajedničar (People's Fraternalist) was launched by Croatian communists within the CFU in 1939, but it was short-lived and no surviving copies are known to exist. It formed part of non-English press of the Communist Party USA.[4]
