City of Čapljina is situated in the south-west part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, only about thirty kilometers away from the Adriatic sea. It is the area of sun and greenery through which four rivers flow Neretva, Trebizat, Bregava and Krupa. The entire administrative area has about 28,122 inhabitants and the very town has about 6,340 inhabitants (census 2013).

Its occurrence has been implicated by the very frequent territory in the middle of the ancient, extremely significant roads which had been connected to the seaboard along the river Neretva valley towards the Balkans inland and Central Europe territory. In some way, the significance of roads and traffic of people and goods have determined the history of these areas.
Čapljina was mentioned as a village in 1632. During the Ottoman empire the municipality was very underdeveloped and depressed by poverty. In the period of Austro-Hungarian occupation in BiH tobacco station, railway station and municipality building have been built in Čapljina.
Čapljina presents a modern, urban town with wide, clean courtyards, in which all public institutions and buildings are systematically spaced.

In May 2019, the Municipality of Čapljina became an official city.
