Stob (pronounced [ˈstoːp], in older sources also Stop,[1] is a former village that is now part of Domžale[2][3] in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[4]

Stob is located along the main road through what is now the southwestern part of Domžale.[3] Srednjak Creek, a tributary of the Pšata River, flows through the western edge of Stob.

Name

A sign for Stob Street (Stobovska cesta)

Stob was attested in historical sources as Stuͦb in 1322, Ztwͦb in 1330, Stuͤb in 1336, and Stueben in 1457, among other variations.[5] It has been suggested that the name is related to the Slovene common noun steber (dialect stober) 'column, post'.[6]

History

Stob had a population of 368 living in 59 houses in 1900.[7] Stob was merged with the formerly independent settlements of Spodnje Domžale, Študa, and Zgornje Domžale in 1925 to create the town of Domžale.[2][3]
