Prvi put grad Bihać se spominje 1260. godine u jednom dokumentu Bele IV, ali se predpostavlja da je grad izgrađen znatno ranije. Godine 1262. postaje slobodan Kraljevski grad. Tu privilegiju je dala Marija, supruga Bele IV. Do dolaska Osmanija Bihać je bio u sklopu ugarsko-hrvatske unije. Bihać je zauzeo Hasan-paša Predojević 1592. godine koji je bio osmaski Begler-beg. Godine 1878. u sklopu austrougarske invazije na Bosnu, Bihać ulazi u sastav Austrougarske monarhije, a pravno osmanska vlast prestaje da djeluje 1908. godine, nakon aneksije Bosne.
The first time the town of Bihać is mentioned is in 1260 in a document of Bela IV but it is assumed that the town emerged much earlier. In the year 1262 it becomes a free royal city. This title was granted by Maria, the wife of Bela IV. Until the arrival of the Ottomans Bihać was part of the Hungarian-Croatian union. Bihać was conquered by Hasan-paša Predojević in 1502 who was an Ottoman Begler-beg. In the year 1878 as part of the Austro- Hungarian invasion of Bosnia Bihać becomes a part of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and the official Ottoman rule ends in 1908 after the annexation of Bosnia.
