Petrinja (Croatian pronunciation: ) is a town in central Croatia near Sisak in the historic region of Banovina. It is administratively located in Sisak-Moslavina County. The name of Petrinja has its roots in Greek πέτρα - pétra, meaning "stone" through Latin petrus. Another possibility is that Petrinja was named after the church of St. Peter from the time of the Diocese of Sisak. It is said that the town existed in Roman era in the area of Zrinska Gora, which is very rich in stone. City economy is in a major decline for the last 20 years. High impact of the war from the 1990s is felt through the abandonment and depopulation of many villages and closure of many farms which used to supply local meat packing plant Gavrilović and dairy processors from other cities. Gavrilović still remains the biggest company and employer in the city, currently employing about 800 workers. More information...
