ТЕРИТОРИЈАЛНО-УПРАВНА ОРГАНИЗАЦИЈА ОНОГОШТА (НИКШИЋА) ОД XV ДО XVIII ВИЈЕКА
TERRITORIAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURE OF ONOGOŠT (NIKŠIĆ) FROM XV UNTIL XVIII CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The paper is dedicated to the analysis of social and historical circumstances surrounding the origin and change in the territorial and administrative structure of the area of Onogošt (Nikšić) from mid-XV until early XVIII century. Even though the nahiyah of Onogošt was formed within its natural boundaries, as was the feudal župa preceding it, the censuses that followed proved it to be transformed in line with the principle of tribes and clans, thus being divided into four nahiyahs: Onogošt, Gračanica/Nikšić, Riđani and Komarnica. The local communities maintained complex relations which applied also to the change in their territorial position, the fact confirmed by scarce data. The recently published census of the Sanjak of Herzegovina from 1701 contained data which permit a better perception of the former territorial and administrative structure of Onogošt (Nikšić) and the neighbouring areas.
