The Origin Of The Name

King Petar I on the horse

Zrenjanin changed its name several times during its 7-century-long history.
It was 1st mentioned at the beginning of the 14th century as Bechkerek. The name remained until 1935, when it got the name Petrovgrad, after King Petar I Karadjordjevic (1844-1921). But that name didn't last long. After WWII the town got its present name - Zrenjanin, after the revolutionary Žarko Zrenjanin (1902-1942).
