The municipality of Tišina consists of 12 villages, i.e. Borejci, Gederovci, Gradišče, Krajna, Murski čŒrnci, Murski Petrovci, Petanjci, Rankovci, Sodišinci, Tišina, Tropovci, Vanča vas and the Romany settlement Borejci-Vanča vas. Their number has not changed for years. Up until the 18th century, Skakovci was also part of the parish, but in 1754, when the parish of Cankova vas was founded, Skakovci became part of the latter. Later, Kupšinci joined the Tišina parish, although it does not belong to the municipality of Tišina, nor does Borejci. Although it is part of the municipality of Tišina, it belongs to the Murska Sobota parish, like Murski čŒrnci. The territory, where the municipality is situated, was presumably settled in the early Stone Age, which has been proven by the flat axes that have been discovered in the area. On the territory of the municipality, there are a number of abandoned gravel quarries, which are now ponds full of fish. A popular tourist attraction is a nicely arranged pond with a fisherman’s lodge at Gradišče. Although the municipality is mainly agricultural, few farms actually live from farming alone. In most cases, farming is a supplementary means of earning a living. The municipality has a primary school with an external department in Gederovci. The church of the Holy Mary’s Birth in Tišina is one of the most interesting monuments of sacral art in Slovenia.
