The municipality of Tabor was formed in 1998 by secession from Žalec. The name of the main settlement after which the municipality is also named - Tabor - comes from the generic term tabor, meaning a fortified encircling wall. The wall after which it is named was built around around St. George's church as a protection against Turkish raids.
There was another municipality named Tabor, part of the Maribor Civic Municipality Assembly until 1995. Then it was incorporated into Maribor Civic Municipality.
