The municipality of Kisela Voda (58,216 inhabitants, mostly ethnic Macedonians - 91.2%; 46.86 sq.km) is one of the ten municipalities forming the city of Skopje. Located in the south-eastern part of Skopje, Kisela Voda has borders with the municipality of Centar and the newly established municipalities of Aerodrom, Studeničani and Sopište. Kisela Voda is constituted of the settlements of Cesma, Birarija, Przino, Crnice, Pripor, Usje, 11 October, Kisela Voda, Cvetan Dimov, Pintija and Dracevo.
The municipality of Kisela Voda (lit., acid water; more correctly, mineral water) was established on 28 June 1955 by the Law on districts and municipalities in the People's Republic of Macedonia. Beforehand, Kisela Voda was a part of Skopje, according to
the Law on the territorial divisions of People's Republic of Macedonia
adopted in 1945.
From 1955 to 1965, several factories were set up in Kisela Voda, such
as the OHIS chemical complex, the Usje cement works, the soap
and cosmetics factory Cvetan Dimov, the textile factory Mirka Ginova, Crvena Zezda and Progres. Kisela Voda became a leading municipality in
Macedonia, with 130,000 inhabitants living in an area of 737 sq. km.
In September 1996, the Law on the new territorial divisions of the
Republic of Macedonia established 123 municipalities. The new
municipalities of Zelenikovo, Studeničani and Sopište were separated
from Kisela Voda.
The limits of the municipality were modified again after the adoption
of the Law on the new territorial divisions of the Republic of
Macedonia in August 2004. The new municipalities of Aerodrom, Upper and Lower Lisice were separated from Kisela Voda.
