Today's entry is about Trebon. It is a historical town in the Central Slavonian region of the Illyrian Empire. The population stands at 8,857 (2010). Trebon was established around the middle of 12th century. The period of greatest growth was the 15th and 16th century and most buildings in the historic town center date from this period. The district became famous for its fish ponds. In 1853 the became a distric center (one of 94 in the Slavonian Kingdom), but the town's importance decreased so much during the 20th century it lost this status in 1960.
