Štore

Štore (pronounced [ˈʃtoːɾɛ]) is a town in eastern Slovenia.

It lies on the Voglajna River, just east of Celje.

The municipality is now included in the Savinja Statistical Region.

The name Štore is probably originally an accusative plural derived from the Slovene common noun štor 'stump', referring to an area where stumps remained after it was cleared.

[2] The town only developed in the mid-19th century, when the ironworks were established in the area after coal was found in the surrounding hills.
