Imotski (Latin: Emona, later Imota) is a small town situated on the northern side of Biokovo massif, Dalmatian hinterland, Croatia. Imotski has a very mild and pleasant climate with many sunny days.
The town was first mentioned as Imotski for the first time in the 10th century. It was held by the Turks from the fall of Bosnia in 1492 until 1717 when it was captured by the Venetians.
Unlike other towns in the area, Imotski had an educational system which consisted of primary and secondary schools from as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The secondary school was founded in 1912 when Imotski was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
From 1941 to 1945 Imotski was part of the Independent State of Croatia. In April, 1944 German forces shot down three American B-24s. The local population saved as many of the American personnel as they could. In 2008, the city decided to raise a memorial to the deceased airmen, one of whom happened to have been a Croatian American with immediate Imotski ancestry.
