Grahovo (Montenegrin Cyrillic: Грахово, pronounced [ɡrâxoʋo]) is a historical settlement in the Nikšić Municipality of northwestern Montenegro.
In 1614, Mariano Bolizza wrote that Grahovo was situated in a beautiful plain, and commanded by Mile Perin.
[2] On the 26th of August, 1836, After the rise of Petar II Petrović-Njegoš to power in the Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro, members of Grahovo tribe, led by vojvoda Jakov Daković refused to pay haraç to the Ottoman authorities and joined the rest of Montenegrins in guerrilla warfare in Ottoman-controlled Herzegovina, expressing the desire to unite with Montenegro.
In response, Ali Pasha Rizvanbegović, vizier of Herzegovina, attacked Grahovo in 1836 and occupied the town.
In late September 1840, Montenegrins attracted Čengić and his army deep into their territory, organized an ambush and murdered them by attacking their camp during the night.
