history
In 1837, infrastructure began to be created in the area of what is now Ljubovija . In 1860 the village of Ljubovija was established there. On July 3, 1871, Ljubovija was granted city rights. The town charter was a decree of King Milan Obrenović . In 1896 a devastating flood of the Drina destroyed the city and the residents rebuilt their city three kilometers north on the lower reaches of the Drina tributary Ljubovica. This area is a little further away from the Drina.
Rapid development of the city delayed the Balkan Wars , World War I and World War II . During the First and Second World Wars, many of the residents of Ljubovija died, as did many from the surrounding villages. From 1941 to 1945, residents of the city belonged to the communist partisans , but also to the nationalist Chetniks .
It was not until the 1980s that the small town experienced an upswing and the first factories were built.
The Vuk Karadžić elementary school is located in the town. The Serbian Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration was built from 1932 to 1940.
