Because of frequent floods, the place was relocated to the right bank of the Danube in 1830. He was named Milanovac after the eldest son of the Serbian Prince Miloš Obrenović , who in turn became Prince of Serbia in 1839 as Milan I. Obrenović . In 1856 it was named Donji Milanovac , since Gornji Milanovac was founded in central Serbia in the same year .
