Crni put (Serbian Cyrillic: Цpни Пут, English: Black road) is a neighborhood of the city of Niš, Serbia. It is located within the municipality of Palilula.

Location

Crni Put neighborhood is located in the central-west parts of the city of Niš. It is flat and bordered on the west by the Industrial zone of MIN and the two Roma neighborhoods "Stocni trg" and "Jevrejsko groblje"(Jewish cemetery), on the south-east by the railway (Belgrade - Niš) and two neighborhoods of "Staro groblje"(Old cemetery) and "Kicevo", and on the north by the Nišava river.

History

In "Crni put" neighborhood was the first railway workshop for servicing locomotives and trains in Serbia. In the late 19th century, there was a lot of mud at the end of the city limits. The workshop poured slag from the coal on the surrounding roads, therefore the roads have become completely black, so the neighborhood was named "Crni put", which means "Black road". Crni Put is one of the neighborhoods in Niš built mostly after 1878. During 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia the neighborhood was again heavily bombed.

NATO also bombed Niš, which was home to a radio relay station, an airfield, and a fuel depot.

Characteristics and future development

The neighborhood is partly industrial, partly residential, and partly commercial. After WWII the city government decided to reserve the area of this neighborhood for industry and banned construction of any residential buildings. After the victory of the coalition of democratic opposition in the local elections in Niš in 1996, the new city government revised that decision in 1997, partially authorizing the construction of residential buildings and dislocation of open merchandise markets into this neighborhood. There is a plan of further transformation of this neighborhood into commercial zone.
