Ravno was a separate county until 1963, when it was merged with the nearby Trebinje Municipality. In 1994, the border changed once again when Ravno became a separate municipality. This time however, part of the frontier lands of Trebinje Municipality were added as part of Ravno. These borderlands went under the title, Travunian Marches (Trebinjska Krajina), and were mostly inhabited by Serbs.
Ravno was first attacked in early October 1991 by JNA forces, which levelled the village on the way to attack Dubrovnik in the War in Croatia.
Ravno again suffered heavy damage during the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina, when the majority of villages were destroyed. The area around Ravno was used as a corridor from where Dubrovnik county in Croatia was continuously attacked.
