Vrbanja (Banja Luka)

Vrbanja is a suburban village and local community in Banja Luka, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina, about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) south-east of the city's center.

Through Vrbanja passes the Vrbanja River (after which the settlement was named) and two major lines of communication: the Banja Luka – Doboj railway line and the M4 highway (Banja Luka – Kotor Varoš – Doboj).

After the history of Medieval Bosnia and the earlier period, it can be concluded that in this area, there was a very old village.

The tradition which has been preserved among today's population suggest that the former settlement was organized on the principle of rural cooperatives.

Since the mid-twentieth century, many residents were employed in the Banja Luka industry, but agriculture remained the main activity.
