About Prijepolje

class="apple-converted-space"> in the Zlatibor District of Serbia. According to the 2011 census, the municipality of Prijepolje has a population of 36,713 people, while the town itself has a population of 13,068. It is located in the Sandžak/Raška oblast geographic region.

One possible meaning of the name Prijepolje is "Prija's field"; according to this theory Prija was the owner of the land before the town was built and polje ("field" in English). More probable theory is that the name originates from the location of Prijepolje. When caravans were passing through Prijepolje, the side from which they arrived was before the fields (in today's Prijepolje, the neighborhoods of Ivanje and VelikaŽupa) and hence the name would mean "before the fields" (prije=before; polje=field). The Coat of arms of Prijepolje also tells a lot about the town
