Cities Formerly Named After Tito
A total of eight towns and cities were named after Tito. Right after World War II, four municipalities whose role in the partisan resistance movement was perceived as significant gained the adjective "Tito's" (locally Titov/Titova/Titovo), while the capital of the smallest federal republic of Montenegro was renamed Titograd (Tito's grad). After Tito's death in 1980, four more cities were added, for a total of one in each of the Yugoslav six federal republics and two autonomous provinces. These were:
- Titograd, July 13, 1946 - April 2, 1992, Podgorica, Montenegro
- Titov Drvar, 1981-1991, Drvar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Titova Korenica, December 5, 1945 - February 7, 1997, Korenica, Croatia
- Titova Mitrovica 1981-1992, Kosovska Mitrovica, Kosovo, Serbia
- Titovo Užice, 1946-1992, Užice, Serbia
- Titovo Velenje, October 10, 1981 - July 17, 1990, Velenje, Slovenia
- Titov Veles, 1946-1996, Veles, Macedonia
- Titov Vrbas, 1983-1992, Vrbas, Vojvodina, Serbia
With the dissolution of Yugoslavia, each city was renamed.
