Ladimirevci is a village administratively located in the Town of Valpovo on the right bank of the Karašica river. One of the only two SOS children villages in Croatia is located here.

Etymology

[edit]

According to legend, the name Ladimirevci comes from the headstone at the entrance to the village, which has: "LAD I MIR EVICI" (shade and peace to Evica) written on it. But experts think that the Ladimirevci is named after the old name Ladimir because many villages in the area have names that end with "vci" suffix.
