Zenica was ruled by the Ottoman Empire from 1463 until 1878. After that it came under Austro-Hungarian occupation, during which time it underwent industrialization. Many of its historic buildings date from the early part of the 20th century. After the Second World War, Zenica was part of Yugoslavia until it began to disintegrate in 1991.

The Bosnian War changed the ethnic composition of Zenica, bringing with it an influx of Bosniak immigrants while at the same time saw the departure of ethnic Serbs. Now that peace has returned, Zenica is trying to gain back its position as the industrial hub of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
