Presentation of Tabor

The municipality of Tabor was formed in 1998 by secession from Žalec. The name of the main settlement after which the municipality is also named - Tabor - comes from the generic term tabor, meaning "a fortified encircling wall". The wall after which it is named was built around around St. George's church as a protection against Turkish raids.
There was another municipality named Tabor, part of the Maribor Civic Municipality Assembly until 1995, and subsequently incorporated into Maribor Civic Municipality.
