Article History
Novo Mesto, Slovenia
Novo Mesto, Slovenia

Novo Mesto, city, southern Slovenia, on the Krka River. Novo Mesto was founded in 1365 by Rudolf IV of Austria and became an important military base on the Ottoman frontier in the 15th century. Though ravaged twice by fire (1576 and 1664) and once by plague (1599), Novo Mesto developed into an important regional center. The modern city has a hydroelectric power plant as well as textile, automobile, and chemical-pharmaceutical industries. Uranium deposits have been discovered nearby. Pop. (2011) 23,341; (2017 est.) 23,321.
