Čečava is situated in the northeastern region of Teslić, located on the summit of Javorova Mountain, and spans across the valley of the Mala Ukrina River.

The village extends northwest towards the shallow hills of Rovovi and Mala Hrastovača, with the borders ending at Lipova Glava.

From Grualj, the borderline extends from Kraljičino Brdo to Stupa, then continues to the vineyards (Veliki Vinogradi) and Prokop.

The village of Čečava was first recorded in a decree by Prince Stjepan and his brother, Vladislav Kotromanić.

The decree rewarded supervisor Grgur Stipanović for his loyalty by granting him the annexation of five villages from the territory of Usora to his kingdom.

The decree states: "Firstly Čečava, secondly Hrastusa, thirdly Unenovichi Uskrsh,..."[This quote needs a citation] Due to his loyalty, Grgur was chosen as the delegate representative of the Bosnian court to escort Prince Stjepan’s matchmakers from the Hungarian King.

According to tradition, villagers and official guests greeted the Queen on that hill many years ago as she entered their land to marry the Bosnian King.

However, some residents of Čečava did not cross the Sava River, as evidenced by individuals with the surname "Čečavac" in the city of Brod.

The one in the "Prodanović" graveyard is part of a circular rock formation that appears to be either a building foundation or an altar.
