SRGW - Serbia - City Addition & Name changes

Post by geminif4ucorsair »

Serbian names were differ from those downloaded from earlier SR1949/36, which are detailed below. Also recommend that one additional city be added, which was the Serbian military's Mountain Artillery headquarters and primary mountain artillery location. As below:

* * ADD TOWN:

* ALEXINATZ X 950 Y 189 - Spelling today (Aleksinac) differs from what it was in 1914.
ADD: Barracks - Center of all Army Horse Artillery (Regt.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksinac

Aleksinac (Serbian Cyrillic: Алексинац) is a town and municipality located in the Nišava District of the southern Serbia. According to 2011 census, the town has a population of 16,420 inhabitants, while the municipality has 51,462.
Aleksinac and its surrounding area joined the First Serbian Uprising in January 1806. This included villages on the right bank of the South Morava river which were liberated by the army of Petar Dobrnjac. The settlements on the left bank were liberated by Mladen Milovanović and Stanoje Glavaš. As soon as the town was liberated, Captain Vuča Žikić built the famous Deligrad trenches on the north side of Aleksinac which earned fame in battles with the Turks, especially in 1806.

After the fall on the First Serbian Uprising, Aleksinac remained under Turkish rule up to December 1832 when it became integral part of Prince Miloš's Serbia. During his first reign Aleksinac became the economic centre of the south-east Serbia with numerous trade and handicrafts shops and it developed into important government centre. It became centre of county and county court. The third post office in Serbia (after Belgrade and Kragujevac) was opened in Aleksinac for both Serbian and Austrian post.

Main industry in Aleksinac is metal industry, but large parts of municipality consists of arable land near the Morava river that is used for grain, maize аnd peppers. Coal industry was also dominant before fire accident in November 1989.

Municipality of Aleksinac is rich in natural resources, especially in black coal, bitumen schist, gravel, sand and limestone. Drilling for shale gas will begin in the near future, with a tender currently underway for contract rights.

All the Serbian maps of 1909-14, show the southern most city of MONSSTIR as being then-named VRANIA -

By the map used for SRGW - Serbia, that has to be the most southern city in the country.

This one I'm leaving out. The "Monastir Offensive" of 1916 satisfies me that the name is acceptable. I can't find anything linking the two names.
