History
The earliest population record was 350 people. The original settlement was initially named Saraybosna, the Turkish name for the city Sarajevo, which had previously been under Turkish rule during the Ottoman Empire period. Saraybosna remained a small settlement despite being a short distance from Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire.
The founding of the Republic of Turkey saw a rapid development of the area, which was absorbed into Istanbul and the current name of Yenibosna ("New Bosnia") was adopted. The remains of the old settlement can be seen in the courtyard behind Yenibosna Primary School.
The majority of the residents of Yenibosna borough are Bosniaks.
Sports
The Sports club affiliated with the borough is Yenibosna Spor Kulübü.
