History

The first inhabitants of this village were Hungarians and after Catholic Croats. The Croats seek refuge here, leaving homelands from Slavonia and Bosnia following the Ottoman invasion. Area where they settled was located near old town and fortress named "Bodrog" which existed in this area during the administration of the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1717, the inhabitants of the village used the bricks from the remains of the "Bodrog" fortress to build a Catholic church. The newer settlers have mostly settled on another location, 1 kilometer away from the original village because this area was less endangered by floods, thus, in 1752, the church and entire old village were moved to this new location as well.
