With its 16 000 inhabitants and an area of 218 square kilometers, the municipality by the new geo political organization  belongs to the West Herzegovina County as part of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Testimonies about life in these areas are still present in prehistoric times. Specifically, on the Ravlić cave, which is located in Drinovci, were found life traces, which are dating back to the later Neolithic Period.

Relief and structure

Municipality Grude is integrated around Grude field. Has all characteristics of a relatively closed karst depression. Open Neretva valley and the immediate coastal area have very little impact on it.

This is a beautiful landscape covered with low vegetation  typical for karst areas. Proximity to the sea give this area a mild Mediterranean climate characteristics. Grude are rich with natural beauties - from the numerous caves and caverns characteristic of this rocky, karst landscape  through - which is unusual for this area - a lot of  water springs and resources (Lake Krenica, river Vrlika).

In morphological way area is divided on three separate units as follows: Northeast beam, on Dinaric direction at altitude of about 590 m on whose southwestern edge town Grude is located. Then, towards the south-east continues Grude field depression  at altitude of 270 and 250 m which southeastern frame ends with two small cape, a longer where (village) Drinovci and shorter where village Blažević are located. Highest point in this part of Grude field is 622 m above sea level. Altitude goes from 260 to 330 meters above sea level. In the first morfologic whole that makes the north-east edge of  Grude field because the basic geological base (krečnjaci)  there are many valleys, while on the southwest beam which is on the southwestern edge of Grude field  and previously mentioned third morphologic whole of this area those phenomens does not exist, because the area consists mainly dolomite  and dolomite limestones.

Climate

Municipality are belongs to humidity sub-Mediterranean climate. The average annual amount of precipitation, which is 1300 mm indicates that the Municipality is located in the immediate coastal hinterland. Altitude (260 - 330 m) and the immediate vicinity of the hinterland of the Adriatic Sea are the reasons  of stronger influence of Mediterranean climate than in the neighboring areas of western Herzegovina. Arrange of precipitation  during the year where summer months ar mostly without rain (June: 94 mm, July: 35.2 mm, and August: 67 mm) shows that at the time of maturation (of plants) here is no rain when irrigation is necessary.
