Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KRAGUYEVATS (also written KRAGUIEVATZ and KRAGUJEVAC) , the
capital
  of the
Kraguyevats
  department of Servia; situated 59 m. S.S.W. of Belgrade, in a valley of the Shumadia, or " forest-
land
 ," and on the Lepenitsa, a small stream flowing north-
east
  to join the Morava. On the opposite bank stands the picturesque hamlet of Obilichevo, with a large powder factory.
Kraguyevats
  itself is the main arsenal of Servia, and possesses an iron-foundry and a steam flour-mill. It is the seat of the
district
  prefecture, of a tribunal, of a fine library, and of a large garrison. It boasts the finest college building and the finest
modern
 
cathedral
  (in
Byzantine
  style) in Servia. In the first years of Servia's autonomy under Prince Milosh, it was the residence of the prince and the seat of government (1818-1839). Even later, between 1868 and 188o, the national assembly (Narodna Skupshtina) usually met there. In 1885 it was connected by a branch line (Kraguyevats-Lapovo) with the
principal
  railway (Belgrade-
Nish
 ), and thenceforward the prosperity of the town steadily increased. Pop. (190o), 14,160.
