Located in the south-eastern part of Skopje, Kisela Voda has borders with the municipality of Centar and the newly established municipalities of Aerodrom, Studeničani and Sopište.

The municipality of Kisela Voda (lit., acid water; more correctly, mineral water) was established on 28 June 1955 by the Law on districts and municipalities in the People's Republic of Macedonia. Beforehand, Kisela Voda was a part of Skopje, according to the Law on the territorial divisions of People's Republic of Macedonia adopted in 1945.
From 1955 to 1965, several factories were set up in Kisela Voda, such as the OHIS chemical complex, the Usje cement works, the soap and cosmetics factory Cvetan Dimov, the textile factory Mirka Ginova, Crvena Zezda and Progres. Kisela Voda became a leading municipality in Macedonia, with 130,000 inhabitants living in an area of 737 sq. km.
In September 1996, the Law on the new territorial divisions of the Republic of Macedonia established 123 municipalities. The new municipalities of Zelenikovo, Studeničani and Sopište were separated from Kisela Voda.
The limits of the municipality were modified again after the adoption of the Law on the new territorial divisions of the Republic of Macedonia in August 2004. The new municipalities of Aerodrom, Upper and Lower Lisice were separated from Kisela Voda.
