Near Zaječar, in the village of Gamzigrad, is the site of the Roman imperial palace of Romuliana (or Felix Romuliana), a castrum where the emperor Galerius (c. 250-311) died and was buried. The original inhabitants of this area formerly called Timah were the Mezi tribe. Zaječar is first mentioned in a Turkish document in 1466; at that time eight families lived in the locality. The Timočka Krajina region lived peacefully until 1876, when Serbia and Montenegro went to war with the Turks. The Timok rebellion broke out in 1883 and November was a tragic month in the history of Zaječar. Nikola Pašić, the leader of a political party, managed to flee to Bulgaria, where he continued the political struggle against the regime of King Milan. In 1889, after the abdication of King Milan, he returned to the country and was elected president of the National Assembly in 1890.On April 14, 1941, the Germans occupied the city; there followed a terrible battle for freedom until October 8, 1944, when the city was finally liberated by the Red Army.
