Tomislavgrad (Croatian pronunciation: [tǒmislaʋgrâːd]), also known by its former name Duvno ([dǔːʋno]), is a town and municipality in western Bosnia and Herzegovina and also seat of the Assembly of Canton 10 of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Regionally, it is located in northwestern Herzegovina.
The city name means literally "Tomislav town". The name was changed from Duvno to Tomislavgrad in 1928 by King Alexander I in tribute to his son Prince Tomislav and also Tomislav, the first king of the Kingdom of Croatia, who was crowned in the area. The name was restored to Duvno after World War II by Yugoslav communist authorities. During the 1990s it was once again changed to Tomislavgrad. Still, among inhabitants of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the local residents are often referred as Duvnjaci ("Duvniaks") and the town is often called Duvno. Also, the town is sometimes referred to simply as "Tomislav". The Roman Catholic diocese in that area is still called Mostar-Duvno. During the Roman Empire the city was called Delminium and during the Kingdom of Croatia, Županjac. Under the Ottoman Empire, it was called Županj-potok and in Austria-Hungary, Županjac.
Tomislavgrad is 38 kilometres (24 mi) from the county seat Livno, 88 kilometres (55 mi) from Mostar, 162 kilometres (101 mi) from Sarajevo, 161 kilometres (100 mi) from Banja Luka, 91 kilometres (57 mi) from Split.
