The Šumadija District (Serbian: Шумадијски округ / Šumadijski okrug, pronounced [ʃumǎdijskiː ôkruːɡ]) is one of eight administrative districts of Šumadija and Western Serbia.
According to the 2022 census results, it has a population of 269,728 inhabitants, and the administrative center is the city of Kragujevac.
Over the last fifty years this city of Serbian schooling has borne a symbol of grief: in the Memorial Park in Šumarice stands a monument to the pupils and teachers of this grammar school who were executed in World War II.
Seeking to set a frightening example for all Serbia, German fascists executed 7,000 citizens in Kragujevac over the course of a single day, October 21, 1941.
