===Socialist Yugoslavia=== On 12 July 1946, [[Josip Broz Tito]] made one of his early visits to Podgorica from the ''Radovče'' hotel, where he spoke to a crowd.<ref name="DTV">{{cite web |url=https://www.vijesti.me/forum/dolazi-tito-876935 |author=Slobodan Vuković |work=[[Vijesti]] |title=Dolazi Tito |language=sr |format=via [[Wayback Machine]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302095051/https://www.vijesti.me/forum/dolazi-tito-876935 |archive-date=2 March 2016}}</ref> It was the first of fifteen total visits made by Tito to the city after World War II.<ref name="DTV"/> {{cquote|"Podgorica is destroyed. We will build her altogether because it's our responsibility, because that's what's required of us by the sacrifices which Podgorica gave! We will do it, that's what I promise you in the name of the Federal government." – [[Josip Broz Tito]] on 12 July 1946.<ref name="DTV"/>}} On 25 July 1948, the vice president of the People's Parliament of Montenegro, Andrija Mugoša, along with secretary Gavron Cemović, signed a law changing the name of Podgorica into "Titovgrad".<ref name="VTG"/> The law was "retroactively" activated such that the name change applied to any records starting from 13 July 1946, when it became the capital of [[Socialist Republic of Montenegro|Montenegro]] within [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|the newly formed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]].<ref name="VTG"/> However, in a contradiction, the "Službeni list" or legal code of Yugoslavia recorded the name "Titograd" without the letter "v".<ref name="VTG"/> Ultimately, "Titograd" was used over "Titovgrad".<ref name="VTG"/> In addition to the new name, Titograd saw the establishment of new factories. The Radoje Dakić factory, built-in 1946 for the production of heavy machinery, became one of the largest employers in Titograd. In 1964, Radoje Dakić guaranteed hired workers an apartment in the city.<ref name="Senat">{{cite web |url=http://senat.me/pogledajte-kako-je-izgledao-ugovor-o-radu-60-ih-u-fabrici-radoje-dakic/ |title=Pogledajte Kako Je Izgledao Ugovor O Radu '60-Ih U Fabrici "Radoje Dakić" |language=sr |date=8 May 2018 |access-date=16 March 2019 |archive-date=12 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180712164742/http://senat.me/pogledajte-kako-je-izgledao-ugovor-o-radu-60-ih-u-fabrici-radoje-dakic/ |url-status=live}}</ref> In the late 1960s, the cities of Titograd, [[Zadar]], and [[Mostar]] competed to be selected as the location of Yugoslavia's expanding aluminum industry.<ref name="MKAP">{{cite web |url=http://www.montenegrina.net/pages/pages1/istorija/cg_od_1945/poceci_kombinata_aluminijuma_branko_kostic.html |author=Branko Kostić |work=Montenegrina |title=POČECI KOMBINATA ALUMINIJUMA |language=sr |access-date=11 March 2019 |archive-date=14 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190314074130/http://www.montenegrina.net/pages/pages1/istorija/cg_od_1945/poceci_kombinata_aluminijuma_branko_kostic.html |url-status=live}}</ref> In a highly politicized selection process, Titograd was ultimately chosen and the [[Aluminium Plant Podgorica|Kombinat]] was constructed in 1969.<ref name="MKAP"/> In 1974, the public [[University of Montenegro|Veljko Vlahović University]] was founded in Titograd.
