From 1929 to 1941, Donji Vakuf was part of the
Vrbas Banovina of the
Kingdom of Yugoslavia. From April 1993 to 14 September 1995 the town's name was
Srbobran (; meaning ‘Serb defender’) as it was occupied by Serb paramilitary forces. During that time the majority of Bosniaks were exiled to the neighboring town of
Bugojno, and on 14 September 1995 Donji Vakuf was liberated by the
Bosnian Army. The town then changed its name back to Donji Vakuf. ==Demographics==
