The town of Derventa lies on the riverUkrina, and roads lead from it to Brod, Kotorsko (Doboj), Prnjavor (Banja Luka) and Srbac.

From 1929 to 1939, Derventa was part of theVrbas Banovina and from 1939 to 1941 of theBanovina of Croatia within theKingdom of Yugoslavia.
Prior to the Bosnian War, there was a significant population of ethnicCroats within Derventa, while the majority wereBosniaks. When the war started, some of the prominentSerbs within the town took up certain positions of power. During the war, the major fighting factions were theHVO and theVRS, with some units from theARBiH participating in the conflict. The HVO controlled the town for a short period in the early stages of the war. The HVO eventually lost control of Derventa afterOperacija Koridor '92 by the VRS and they were pushed up north, and as a result of the battle most of the Croats and Bosniaks were ethnically cleansed from the area, and Serb refugees from war-affected regions shortly settled in the town.
After theDayton Agreement in 1995, someBosniak and Croat refugees returned to Derventa.
