[4] The history of Sarajevo dates back to Neolithic times, when the Butmir culture made its mountains and hills their home.

They were a warlike bunch and the last Illyrian tribe to resist Roman rule, which finally came in AD 9.

Under Roman rule, many roads were constructed in the region, as well as a city on top of modern-day Ilidža.

During the Middle Ages, the area of Sarajevo Canton was a key part of the Bosnian Kingdom.

True development of the region came after the Ottoman conquest when local Muslim noble Isa-Beg Isaković established the roots of the modern city of Sarajevo, between 1461 and 1463.

Because of its ideal geographical location in between mountains, Sarajevo was chosen to host the 1984 Winter Olympics.

It is located close to the geometric center of the country, and contains numerous mountains, including Bjelašnica, Igman, Jahorina, Trebević, and Treskavica.

Several major Bosnian companies are based in the Canton such as Bosnalijek and Bosna Bank International.
