Tuzla is one of the oldest cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and its name comes from the Turkish word "tuz," meaning "salt." The city is known for its rich salt deposits, which were crucial for its development since the Roman period when the city was known as "Salines." During the Ottoman period, Tuzla became an important trading hub due to its salt mines, and the city still prides itself on its long-standing legacy of exploiting this valuable resource.
