In the ancient past there had been different districts on its territory - Šuma (with the settlements; Bjelač, Taleža, Svinjar evo, Klikovići, Gola Glavica, Sparožići, Orah, Zasjek, Začula, Planik, Obrće, Vlaštica, Uskoplje and Ledenice); Površ (with the settlements: Ljubovo, Biograd, Orašje, Mrnjići, Ljekovo, Slivnica, Zagradinje, Bijela, Grebeni, Sopoštica, Drijen, Bobovište, Bobova Ljut, Glavska, Poljice and Kremeni Do); Vrsinje (Zupci) - (with the settlements: Dubrava, Sutjeska, Konjsko, Orašje, Turmenti and Rapti); Trebinjsko polje (with the settlements: Police, Trebinje, ćičevo, Mokro, Zgonjevo, Priđvorci and Gomiljani); Pobrđe (with the settlements: Necvijeće, Mičevac, Jasen, Goica, Pođgljiva, Zasad, Zagora); and Lug (with the settlements: Hum and Cicina); which could be seen today as smaller but clearly recognizable places. A large number of funeral mounds, the stećak necropolis, chapels and church sites, old houses and mansions, as well as the abandoned settlements testify about a population density of this region in the Middle Ages.
