Jegunovce (Template:Langx) is one of the larger villages in the Polog Valley, North Macedonia. It is located about 10 mi (15 km) northeast of the Macedonian city of Tetovo. It is the center of the Jegunovce Municipality.

History

Jegunovce began to grow from a village into a small town after World War II, when the new Yugoslav government under Josip Broz Tito built a large metallurgical plant (working mostly with chromium) in the area. The plant was named Jugohrom, and was one of the largest employers in Yugoslavia. The plant was renamed Silmak in 2002, and closed in 2006.[1] After reopening and closing again in early 2009 due to the world financial crisis and rapid decline in demand, Silmak resumed operations again in July 2009.

Demographics

According to the 2002 census, the village had a total of 846 inhabitants.[2] Ethnic groups in the village include:[2]

In statistics gathered by Vasil Kanchov in 1900, the village of Jegunovce was inhabited by 110 Orthodox Bulgarians.[3]

Sports

The local football club is FK Jugohrom.
