Dvor (Serbian Cyrillic: Двор)[2] is a town and a municipality in the Banovina region in central Croatia. Administratively it belongs to the Sisak-Moslavina County and is located across the Una River from Novi Grad (also known as Bosanski Novi) in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Languages and names

The town of Dvor was named Dvor na Uni in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.[3] A majority of the present-day inhabitants self-identify as Serb and the Serbian language was added[when?] as a second official language, alongside Croatian, which is the official first language.

History

Dvor used to be a district capital in the historic Zagreb County, an administrative unit within the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia, which ceased to exist in 1918. In 1929 Dvor was placed in Vrbas Banovina within Kingdom of Yugoslavia. It was not incorporated into Croatia when the Banovina of Croatia province was formed in 1939. In 1941, the town became a part of the Independent State of Croatia. After the end of World War II the town officially became part of SR Croatia within SFR Yugoslavia, which largely followed the historic border of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia in this area.

During the Croatian War of Independence (1991–1995), Dvor was within the breakaway Republic of Serbian Krajina, but following Operation Storm in 1995 the municipality returned to Croatian control. Croatian army ethnicly cleansed most of the Serbs, but afterwards, some of them returned to their homes.
