Trebinje is one of two municipalities that were created from the former Yugoslavian
municipality of Trebinje of the 1991 census, the other being Ravno
in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The toponym Trebinje is first attested in De Administrando Imperio
by Constantine VII
(905-959), when describing the geography of the Serbs. Travunia
(Τερβουνια) was a province of the Serbian Principality under the Vlastimirović Dynasty. The first known office holder was Beloje
, a count, who ruled under Prince Vlastimir (also possibly under Radoslav
or Prosigoj
, fl. 819). In the mid 9th century, Vlastimir married his daughter to Krajina
, the son of Beloje, and gave him the Župa
of Trebinje to govern under his suzerainty. The Belojević noble family
was entitled to rule Travunia; Hvalimir, and his son Čučimir, continued the office under the Serbian crown.
The town commanded the road from Ragusa
to Constantinople
, traversed, in 1096, by Raymond of Toulouse and his crusaders
. Under the name of Tribunia or Travunja (the Trebigne of the Ragusans), it belonged to the Serbian Empire
until 1355. Trebinje became a part of the expanded Medieval Bosnian state under Tvrtko I in 1373. There is a medieval tower in Gornje Police (Gornye Politse) whose construction is often attributed to Vuk Branković. The old Tvrdoš
Monastery dates back to the 15th century.
In 1482, together with the rest of Herzegovina
(see: Herzog Stjepan Vukčić Kosača
), the town was captured by the Ottoman Empire
. The Old Town-Kastel was built by Turks on the location of the medieval fortress of Ban Vir, on the western bank of the Trebišnjica River
. The city walls, the Old Town square, and two mosques were built in the beginning of the 18th century by the Resulbegović family. The 16th-century Arslanagić bridge (or Perovica bridge) was originally built at the village of Arslanagić, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the town, by Mehmed-paša Sokolović
, and was managed by Arslanagic family. The Arslanagić bridge is one of the most attractive Ottoman-era bridges in Bosnia and Herzegovina
. It has two large and two small semicircular arches. It was moved closer to Trebinje (1 km (0.621372736649807 mi)) in the late 1960s.
administration (1878–1918), several fortifications were built on the surrounding hills, and there was a garrison based in the town. The imperial administrators also modernized the town, expanding it westwards, building the present main street, as well as several squares, parks, schools, tobacco plantations, etc.
Trebinje strongly grew in the era of Josip Broz Tito
's Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
between 1945 and 1990. It especially developed its hydroelectric potential
with dams, artificial lakes, tunnels, and hydroelectric plants. This industrial development brought a large increase in the urban population of Trebinje.
