History
People have lived in the Sapna region since the earliest days.[when?] In the Middle Ages, Sapna was an important region for getting information and things between the then towns of Zvornik and Teocak. When the Ottoman Turks came, the area was put into the administrative unit called the Zvornik Sandžak, which was created between 1478 and 1483. During Austro-Hungarian rule this was part of the Zvornik Kotar, and in early Yugoslavia it was part of the Zvornik Srez.
Before the Bosnian War, Sapna was part of the Zvornik municipality. But, as a result of the Dayton Agreement, the Zvornik municipality was divided between the two entities, Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, so Sapna became a municipality itself, comprising the half of the Zvornik municipality that remained in the Federation of BiH. Sapna officially became a municipality on March 8, 1998.
