Istočni Vračar was located in the area which is today covered by the territory of the municipality of Vračar and the westernmost section of the municipality of [[Zvezdara]] (local community (''mesna zajednica'') of Vračarsko Polje) and represents the eastern part of the former, much larger neighborhood of Vračar (see [[Zapadni Vračar]]). |

Istočni Vračar started to be built since 1880 when a [[Scottish people|Scottish]] businessman and [[Church of the Nazarene|Nazarene]] [[Francis Mackenzie (missionary)|Francis Mackenzie]] bought a large piece of land nearby (which eventually became known as [[Englezovac]], [[Serbian language|Serbian]] for ''Englishman's place''), parcelled it out into lots for selling and donated a piece of land to the [[Serbian Orthodox Church]] for the construction of the [[Temple of Saint Sava]]. Later, Istočni Vračar extended to [[Grantovac]], an area of land belonging to the [[United States|American]] consul Edward Maxwell Grant and [[Krunski Venac]] around the ''Krunska street'', a street starting from the Royal Park and ending with [[Kalenić market]]. Kalenić market is the largest open air market in Belgrade and is the commercial centre of modern Vračar. |

The municipality of Vračar was officially formed in 1952 after Belgrade was administratively reorganized from districts (rejon) to municipalities. On 1 September 1955, Vračar was divided into Zapadni Vračar and Istočni Vračar. A year and a half later, on 1 January 1957, parts of Istočni Vračar merged with the municipality of Neimar and the western part of the municipality of Terazije to create a new, albeit smaller, municipality in Belgrade. Zapadni Vračar became municipality of Savski Venac, while the easternmost section of Istočni Vračar became part of the municipality of Zvezdara. |
