The origin of the name

Zrenjanin is the biggest town in Banat, the 3rd biggest in Vojvodina and the 8th biggest in Serbia.

It changed its name several times during its 7-century-long history.

It was 1st mentioned at the beginning of the 14th century as Bechkerek. The name remained until 1935, when it got the name Petrovgrad, after King Petar I Karadjordjevic (1844-1921). But that name didn’t last long. After WWII the town got its present name – Zrenjanin, after the revolutionary Žarko Zrenjanin (1902-1942).
