Prior to the [[Bosnian War]] of the 1990s, the town was known as ''Bosanski Brod''. During the war the prefix "Bosanski" was replaced with "Srpski" due to the town being under Serb control. In May 2009, the National Assembly of the [[Republika Srpska]] removed any prefix from the name resulting in the name ''Brod''. Today its official name is just ''Brod'', without either prefix ''Bosanski'' or ''Srpski''.

Brod (Serbian Cyrillic: Брод, pronounced [brôːd]),[1] formerly Bosanski Brod (Serbian Cyrillic: Босански Брод) and Srpski Brod (Serbian Cyrillic: Српски Брод), is a town and municipality in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is situated on the south bank of the river Sava, in the western part of the Posavina region.[2] As of 2013, the town has a population of 7,637 inhabitants, while the municipality has a population of 16,619 inhabitants.

Name

[edit]

The city's name refers to a place where river can be crossed, a ford.

Prior to the Bosnian War of the 1990s, the town was known as Bosanski Brod. During the war the prefix "Bosanski" was replaced with "Srpski" due to the town being under Serb control. In May 2009, the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska removed any prefix from the name resulting in the name Brod. Today its official name is just Brod, without either prefix Bosanski or Srpski. The Croatian town of Slavonski Brod is situated on the opposite (northern) bank of the Sava, forming a built-up area of more than 110,000 inhabitants.

The bridge over the Sava River at Brod was destroyed in the early hours of October 1992; it was rebuilt several years later after the hostilities ended.

History

[edit]

The area of Brod was inhabited since ancient times, which is testified by numerous artifacts from the Stone and Iron Age, as well as the Roman period.[3]

Brod was first mentioned in 1691, during the Ottoman era as Turski Brod.[4]

In 1878 Brod became a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and got the official name of Bosanski Brod with the beginning of building of the railroad to Sarajevo. The first train departed towards Derventa in 1879, while the service was expanded to Doboj later in the same year.[4][5]

Poet and writer Duško Trifunović was born in village Sijekovac near Brod in 1933. Brod's main river promenade, along the bank of the Sava, is named after him.[6][7]
