Sanjak of Bosnia (Turkish:Bosna Sancağı,Serbo-Croatian:Bosanski sandžak / Босански санџак) was one of thesanjaks of theOttoman Empire established in 1463 when thelands conquered from theBosnian Kingdom were transformed into asanjak andIsa-Beg Isaković was appointed its firstsanjakbey.[1] In the period between 1463 and 1580 it was part of theRumelia Eyalet. After theBosnia Eyalet was established in 1580 the Bosnian Sanjak became its central province.[2] Between 1864 and theAustro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia in 1878 it was part of theBosnia Vilayet that succeeded the Eyalet of Bosnia following administrative reforms in 1864 known as the "Vilayet Law". Although Bosnia Vilayet was officially still part of the Ottoman Empire until 1908 the Bosnian Sanjak de facto ceased to exist in 1878; when it was occupied by Austria-Hungary.
Banja Luka became the seat of the Sanjak of Bosnia some time prior to 1554, until 1580 when theBosnia Eyalet was established. Bosnianbeylerbeys were seated in Banja Luka until 1639.[3]
