The Sanjak of Zvornik (Turkish: İzvornik Sancağı, Serbo-Croatian: Zvornički sandžak) was one of the sanjaks in the Ottoman Empire with Zvornik (in modern-day Bosnia and Herzegovina) as its administrative centre. It was divided into four different districts: Žepče, Maglaj, Tuzla and Kladanj. The sanjak was created in 1480–1481 and was dissolved in 1832.
History
The sanjak of Zvornik was established in late 1480 or early 1481 following the attacks of Serbian despot Vuk Grgurević on Srebrenica and Sarajevo.[1] With the establishment of the Budin Eyalet (1541), the sanjak of Zvornik was part of it for a time.[2][3] Since 1580 it was organized into the Bosnia Eyalet.[4] The sanjak was one of six sanjaks with most developed shipbuilding (besides Vidin, Nicopolis, Požega, Smederevo and Mohács).[5]
The sanjak was dissolved in 1832, its remaining Ottoman territory ceded to the Sanjak of Bosnia.[6]
