History edit
Following the Roman conquest in the 1st century BC, the settlement was known as Burgenae.[2]
The village of Novi Banovci was established in 1790 and soon it turned into the first predominantly Lutheran village within the boundaries of the Military Frontier.[3]
Novi Banovci experienced a constant population growth in the 20th century. A significant increase in the neighborhood's population occurred in the mid-1990s, caused by the large influx of refugees from the Yugoslav War, especially after the Oluja military action which forced almost 250,000 Serbs from Croatia into Serbia, and many of them settled at the outskirts of Belgrade.
