Slavište, also known as the Kriva Palanka Plain,[1] is a historical region around Kriva Palanka, in northeastern Republic of Macedonia, once by the medieval fortified town of Slavište,[2] also known as Gradište,[3] west of the modern town. The name Slavište is first mentioned in 1321, in the Gračanica charter of Stefan Milutin, though it is believed to be older.[4] During the Serbian Empire (1345-1371), the Slavište župa (county) consisted of the surrounding of modern-day Kriva Palanka which was the hereditary land of the Paskačić noble family. It was to the east of the Žegligovo župa, surrounding modern-day Kumanovo, and to the southwest of Osogovo, part of the land of the Dejanović noble family.[5] In 1573, the nahia of Slavište was recorded.[3] The region is used in neotectonics.[6]
