[1] Modern settlement began to develop as the first social housing for the workers of the sugar refinery, on the hill above the hyppodrome.

[1] During the existence of the narrow-gauge railway Belgrade-Čukarica-Obrenovac, the tunnel was dug under the ending slope of the Banovo Brdo hill.

Station Čukarica was located at the entry point from the Belgrade direction, at the sugar factory industrial complex.

The Shell company built a large complex of oil tanks during the Interbellum in the northernmost section of Čukarica, Careva Ćuprija.

As a result of bombing, numerous unexploded bombs remained buried in the ground, and are occasionally discovered during the modern construction works, like Ada Mall in 2018, or residential complex in Banovo Brdo in 2021, which required evacuation of couple of thousands of residents for safe extraction of the projectile.

Officially the longest street in Belgrade, Obrenovački put (Obrenovac road) is located in the municipality.

While Obrenovac road runs only through one municipality (Čukarica), Bulevar kralja Aleksandra connects four of them: Stari Grad, Vračar, Palilula and Zvezdara.

The municipality of Čukarica covers an area of 155 km2 (60 sq mi) and it is divided in the urban and suburban part.

The neighborhood of Čukarica, which gave the name to the entire municipality, is located on a hill above the eastern bank of the Sava river.
