Kumanovo (Macedonian: Куманово [kuˈmanɔvɔ] ; Albanian: Kumanovë) is a municipality located in the northern part of North Macedonia. Kumanovo is also the name of the city where the municipal seat is located. The Kumanovo Municipality is part of the Northeastern Statistical Region.

Geography

[edit]

The municipality has an area of 509.48 km² and borders the Lipkovo, Ilinden and Aračinovo Municipalities to the west, Serbia to the north, the Sveti Nikole and Petrovec Municipalities to the south, and Staro Nagoričane and Kratovo Municipalities to the east.

History

[edit]

Kumanovo as an inhabited area dates back to 1519. The most detailed data comes from Evliya Çelebi, who traveled to the region. The area was inhabited by 52 families and 300 residents. After the Karposh Uprising in 1689, Kumanovo entered a period of stagnation. After 1945, Kumanovo experienced fast economic, administrative and cultural development.

By the 2003 territorial division of the Republic, the Orašac Municipality was merged with Kumanovo, as was a part of the rural Klečevce Municipality. The other part of Klečevce was annexed to the Staro Nagoričane Municipality.

[edit]

Kumanovo had 94,589 inhabitants in 1994 and 98,104 in the last national census. The present-day municipality has 98,104 inhabitants, which makes it the most populous municipality in Macedonia.
