Novi Travnik is a town and municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in the Central Bosnia Canton in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Name

The municipality was called Novi Travnik until 1980, when it was styled Pucarevo after Đuro Pucar. In 1992 the original name was restored.[citation needed]

History

Novi Travnik was founded in 1949 to provide residence for the employees of the newly founded MMK Bratstvo factory, and so it is one of the youngest settlements in the region.
