During the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia Domaljevac belonged to the municipality of Bosanski Šamac . During the Bosnian War Domaljevac was defended by the 104th Brigade of the Hrvatsko vijeće obrane (HVO; Croatian for Croatian Defense Council).

Since then, Domaljevac has served as the main town and seat of the local government.
In mid-May 2014, Domaljevac was hit by significant floods due to the Yvette in the Balkans .
