[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.

In 1925 the town was renamed to Tomislavgrad (Tomislav's City), in a celebration for king Tomislav I who was crowned in the vicinity 925.

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. The biggest village in Tomislavgrad is Vinica.
