[edit] History

There has been settlement in the area since Roman times when the town was known as Daelminium. When the Croats settled the area in the seventh century it was renamed to Županjac. The first Croatian Sabor (parliament) was convened here in 753. The Sabor also crowned King Tomislav here - the first king of Croatia.

In 1925 the town was renamed to Tomislavgrad (Tomislav's City), in reference to King Tomislav. In 1945, there was a crackdown on Croatian nationalism by the socialist state of Yugoslavia, resulting in the town's name being changed to Duvno. When Yugoslavia dissolved in the 1990s, the town was again renamed to Tomislavgrad.
