history
The first known source about Vivodina dates back to the 14th century. These sources tell us that Vivodina was a free district - justice (iudicatus) - and proclaimed it as the "brotherhood of noble men." It had a position of an independent district until the 16th century. Vivodina was first mentioned by name in September 22, 1321.
