History

In the 7th century, Slavic tribes settled permanently in the area of the town of Živinice. The medieval territory of Živinice was part of the Bosnian state, the areas of Gostilj, Dramešin and Soli as independent political units that lost those attributes before the arrival of the Ottomans in Bosnia. The settlement of Živinice as an urban location probably originated in the 18th century.

The municipality of Živinice was formed on 19. June 1959, after a decision by the National Assembly of the People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina was passed.

The origin of the name Živinice is still unknown. According to historian Muhamed Hadžijahić Živinice was mentioned in an Ottoman document of 1764 that stated: "Živinice called Uskopči, probably (Oskovci) in nahiya Tuzla".[1]
