Sibinek was settled by the Croats. '''Petar Kresimir IV''' established his capital here, leading to it also being known as ''Kresimirov grad'' (literally "Kresimir's city").

Sibinek was conquered by the [[WorldHistory/RepublicOfVenice|Venetians]] for the first time in 1116, then by the [[WorldHistory/ByzantineEmpire|Byzantines]] in 1124, then by [[Hungary/Monarchs#Kingdom_of_Hungary|Hungary]] in 1133. Venice reclaimed the city in 1412. It is commonly grouped with the [[WorldHistory/DalmatianCityStates|Dalmatian city states]]. It came to be known as ''Sebenico'' in this era.

Following a brief [[WorldHistory/NapoleonicWars|Napoleonic conquest]], Sibenik was ceded to the [[Austria/Monarchs#Austrian_Empire|Austrian Empire]].
