Former first lady Melania Trump grew up in Sevnica, Slovenia.
Trump was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, on April 26, 1970 — she turns 52 this month.
She then spent her childhood in Sevnica, a small town 30 miles away.
Sevnica is located along the Sava River in central Slovenia. It has a population of around 5,000.
When Trump was born, Slovenia was a communist country ruled by President Josip Tito and known as Yugoslavia.
Slovenia became independent in 1991.
Before Trump's rise to fame as a model and then FLOTUS, Sevnica was known for its furniture and clothing factories, as well as its annual salami festival.
Sevnica produces over 150 kinds of salami.
Now, Sevnica produces a salami named after the first lady.
Sevnica's tourism doubled in the year before Donald Trump took office as interest in Melania Trump grew, a tour guide told Reuters in January 2017. For 2017 as a whole, the number of foreigners visiting Slovenia jumped 17% when compared to the previous year, with a total of 3.4 million visitors, Reuters reported in January 2018.
The small town capitalized on its claim to fame as the former FLOTUS' hometown, offering tours, foods, and souvenirs named after her.
As a child, Trump — then known as Melanija Knavs — lived in this block of Communist-era apartments.
Her father, Viktor Knavs, worked as a car salesman, The New York Times reported. Her mother, Amalija, worked at a local textile factory.

“I actually think she surpasses Jackie Kennedy.”
Definitely.
I miss hearing from and about Melania. After the way she was mistreated by the media, I doubt if she misses any of us voters. I can’t say I blame her. Hopefully, she has found some women friends that are at least somewhat trustworthy.
I sometimes wonder how the youngest Trump, Barron is doing.
He’s what? 15? At that age, most teenagers like spending a little time being with other peers and far, far away from their parents. I know I did.
He has grown . A lot.
Barron is 6-foot-7, can you believe it? And he’s 15,” Trump said.
“Eric is short — he’s only 6-foot-6,” he joked of his 37-year-old son, who was previously the tallest in the family.
I already know Barron is tall, but I was wondering if he has many friends he can feel at ease with? None of us would know that. Could he ever ‘borrow Dad’s car and take a girl on a Date’ like the average guy his age? Not likely.
It could be since he grew up in that very wealthy, high achieving family, he is used to not having many peers.
I’m guessing, all the Trumps (including 1st wife Ivana) are probably never far from hired security of some sort.
Well Melania is brilliant. She is as brainy as she is beautiful.
Jackie Kennedy was as dumb as a box rocks. Jackie was an empty headed debutante, an airhead. She sounded like she was retarded when she spoke.
I know a ten year old boy who is 6 foot tall. He’s my best friend’s soon to be stepson.
“I actually think she surpasses Jackie Kennedy.”
Jackie had a certain style, but was not pretty or smart.
Melania has a better style, and is gorgeous and accomplished.
By a country mile, but Jackie was no slouch.
My nephew’s wife is from Transylvania, Romania. Another beautiful city
Well spoken, couldn't have phrased it any better myself.
FWIW, Melania looked gorgeous in blue jeans and ball cap too.......
And a “Life” magazine special edition of First Ladies at the checkout counter has Jackie, Big Mike Obama, and Eleanor Roosevelt on the front cover. Other FLOTUS’ pics were on the back cover. NOT EVEN ONE OF MELANIA.
“...do not watch any news whatsoever.”
Me, too. Local weather on occasion but that’s it. Can’t stomach any of it. Liars and miscreants.
I come to FR for the important stuff. ;)
She’s seen the hard times of life and came a long way and very smart.
