History
editAn Ottoman census conducted in 1604 recorded a total of 42 households in Ivanjska, 11 Muslim and 31 non-Muslim, as part of the Banaluka nahiye.[3]
Between some time after 1953 and 1963, Ivanjska was a separate municipality from Banja Luka. Other than the town itself, municipality included the settlements of Barlovci, Cerici, Dragočaj, Piskavica, Prijakovci, Radosavska, Ramići, Šimići and Verići.
The majority Croat population of Ivanjska faced persecution during the Bosnian War by Serb authorities, causing most of them to flee from the region. As part of their broader ethnic cleansing campaign, Serb authorities renamed Ivanjska to Potkozarje.
