West Bosnia Canton is the tenth canton of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in the western part of Bosnia. The capital is in Livno.
The area of the canton, which includes 6 municipalities (Drvar, Bosansko Grahovo, Glamoč, Kupres, Livno, Tomislavgrad), is 5,020 km², a tenth of the surface of Bosnia-Herzegovina. At the 1991 census, 115,726 people inhabited the Canton; at present, there are about 90,000. Rugged and wide karst fields characterize the Canton geographically.
The local government refers to it as the Hercegbosanska županija, Herzegovina-Bosnia Canton, which makes a reference to a Bosnian Croat statelet of dubious constitutionality called Herceg-Bosna that existed during the Yugoslav wars. It is sometimes referred to neutrally as Kanton 10 (Canton 10).
