In the Roman period this town was of strategic importance; a port of the Roman fleet was situated here. Among notable archaeological findings are a ].
According to the written documents, Bosanska Gradiška was first mentioned a little more than 700 years ago under the name of Gradiški Brod. However, the life in the area of the present town, its immediate and wider environs, dates back to the prehistoric times. In the time of Roman Empire, the city named ] (Servitium) existed at this location.
Bosanska Gradiška was mentioned as a free town. In the Middle Ages, Bosanska Gradiška had a major importance as the place where the Sava river used to be crossed.


'''Gradiški Brod''' is mentioned for the first time as a town in {{circa}} 1330. It had a major importance as the location where the ] used to be crossed. By 1537, the town and its surroundings came under Ottoman rule.
The people of this region who lived to see the end of the Second World War found themselves in looted places and deserted hearths. At battlefields and the death camps in Jasenovac, Stara Gradiška, Jastrebarsko, and other places of torture, some 13,000 {{Fact|date=February 2007}} Serbs lost their lives among them about 4,500 children below fifteen years of age. {{Fact|date=February 2007}}.

The Ottoman built a fortress, which served as the ]'s northern defense line. The town was also called '''Berbir''' because of the fortress.

The peasants took up arms on 23 September 1809, in the region of Gradiška, beginning from ]. The fighting began on 25 September, and on the same night, the Ottomans captured and executed Jančić. The rebels retreated to their villages, except those in Kozara and Motajica who continued, and offered strong resistance until their defeat in mid-October, after extensive looting and burning of villages by the Ottomans.<ref>Стојан Бијелић.

Gradiška municipality by population proportional to the settlement with the highest and lowest population

Gradiška (Serbian Cyrillic: Градишка) is a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As of 2013, it has a population of 51,727 inhabitants, while the city of Gradiška has a population of 14,368 inhabitants.

It is geographically located in eastern Krajina region, and the town is situated on the Lijevče plain, on the right bank of the Sava river across from Stara Gradiška, Croatia, and about 40 km (25 mi) north of Banja Luka.

History

In the Roman period this town was of strategic importance; a port of the Roman fleet was situated here. Among notable archaeological findings are a viaduct.

Gradiški Brod is mentioned for the first time as a town in c. 1330. It had a major importance as the location where the Sava river used to be crossed. By 1537, the town and its surroundings came under Ottoman rule.

The Ottoman built a fortress, which served as the Bosnia Eyalet's northern defense line. The town was also called Berbir because of the fortress.

Following the outbreak of the First Serbian Uprising (1804), in the Sanjak of Smederevo (modern Central Serbia), the Jančić's Revolt broke out in the Gradiška region against the Ottoman government in the Bosnia Eyalet, following the erosion of the economic, national and religious rights of Serbs. Hajduks also arrived from Serbia, and were especially active on the Kozara. Jovan Jančić Sarajlija organized the uprising with help from Metropolitan Benedikt Kraljević. The peasants took up arms on 23 September 1809, in the region of Gradiška, beginning from Mašići. The fighting began on 25 September, and on the same night, the Ottomans captured and executed Jančić. The rebels retreated to their villages, except those in Kozara and Motajica who continued, and offered strong resistance until their defeat in mid-October, after extensive looting and burning of villages by the Ottomans. Another revolt broke out in 1834, in Mašići.

Ottoman rule ended with the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1878), following the Herzegovina Uprising (1875–77). Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina ended in 1918, when the South Slavic Austro-Hungarian territories proclaimed the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs, which subsequently joined the Kingdom of Serbia into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

From 1929 to 1941 Gradiška was part of the Vrbas Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.

During Yugoslavia, the town was known as Bosanska Gradiška (Босанска Градишка). During the Bosnian War, the town was incorporated into Republika Srpska (RS). After the war, the RS National Assembly changed the name, omitting bosanska ("Bosnian"), as was done with many other towns (Kostajnica, Dubica, Novi Grad, Petrovo, Šamac).

In the night of 18 November 2004, Catholic priest and parson Kazimir Višaticki was murdered in the clergy house of the St. Roch parish in Gradiška.
