Podravina (in Croatian) or Podravje (in Slovenian) are Slavic names for the Drava river basin in northwestern Croatia and Slovenia. Both names combine the hydronym with the South Slavic prefix "po-", meaning "alongside" or "after".




History


Between 1929 and 1941, the area was mostly incorporated in one of the provinces of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the Drava Banovina (Banate of Drava.) The banate comprised most of present-day Slovenia, and shared its capital of Ljubljana.
One of the modern counties of Croatia is named Virovitica-Podravina; however, the unofficial capital of the Croatian Podravina region is the city of Koprivnica, the capital of Koprivnica-Križevci County.
