It belongs to the traditional region of Inner Carniola. In addition to the municipal seat of Pivka, the municipality also includes the following settlements: Although the Pivka region has been a strategically important location since ancient times, it became even more important with the construction of the Vienna–Trieste railway (the Austrian Southern Railway) in 1857 and the Št. Peter na Krasu–Rijeka railway twenty years later. In 1930, while it was under the Italian control, the strategic hills over the town of Pivka were heavily fortified and included in the Alpine Wall system of defenses, which stretched from the Bay of Genoa to the Kvarner Gulf. Št. Peter na Krasu and the nearby barracks in Hrastje ("Crastie di San Pietro" then, now part of the town of Pivka) were one of the strongest points in the eastern section of the Alpine Wall.
