Istočni Mostar was created in 1995, following the end of the Bosnian War. It was known as Srpski Mostar (Serbian Cyrillic: Српски Мостар, lit.'Serb Mostar') until 2004, after which it was renamed to its current name Istočni Mostar. It was created from the Serb-inhabited part of the pre-war municipality of Mostar which is now in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
