Overview

Before the Hungarian conquest in the 10th century, Bačka was mainly populated by Slavs[1] and Avars. There is a dispute whether remains of ethnic Avars still lived in the region in the time of Hungarian conquest or they were already assimilated by more numerous Slavs.[2] In the 11-15th centuries, the region had mostly Hungarian population with Slavic ethnic islands.[3] During Hungarian rule, the native Slavic population mostly lost its Slavic language and culture and was assimilated into Hungarians.[4] Since the 14th century, Slavic Serbs started to migrate to this region from Balkans. In the outset of the 16th century, before the Ottoman conquest, the largest part of population of Bačka were Hungarians, and the smaller part of population were Slavs. After the Ottoman conquest, most of the Hungarian and Catholic Slavic population fled from the area, and new Orthodox settlers (Serbs, Vlachs, etc.) as well as many Muslims of various ethnic origins settled in the area. During Ottoman rule, the region was mainly populated by Serbs, who were in an absolute majority [1] and who mostly lived in villages, while cities were populated by various Muslim and Christian ethnic groups including Serbs, Turks, Roma, Greeks, Cincars, Arabs, Bosniaks, as well as Jews. During the Habsburg rule, in the 17th and 18th century, new wave of Serb settlers came to the area. During the 18th and 19th century, Hungarian, German, and other (Slovak, Rusyn, etc.) settlers were brought to the area, which thus became ethnically mixed, with a population composed mostly of Serbs, Hungarians, and Germans. Hungarian settlers mostly originated from Upper Hungary, especially from those counties that were not under Ottoman rule.[5] There is dispute whether some of these Hungarians were descendants of pre-Ottoman Hungarian population of Bačka. When Austrians conquered Bačka and tried to determine private land ownership in the region, the only Hungarians that were able to prove that their ancestors owned land in Bačka were members of Cobor family, who proved their ownership rights over town of Baja.[6] In the early 20th century, Bačka was ethnically mixed with relative Hungarian linguistic plurality. During the 20th century (after 1918), many South Slavic colonists from other parts of Yugoslavia (Serbs, Montenegrins, Macedonians, ethnic Muslims, etc.) settled in the area, mainly after 1945 and between 1991-1996.

According to the Austrian census from 1715, there were 58 settlements in Bačka (excluding 18 settlements from military frontier). The largest places in Bačka in this time were Baja (with 237 recorded houses) and Futog (with 137 recorded houses).[7]

This census recorded all inhabitants of Bačka that had to pay taxes to authorities, excluding those that were not obligated to pay taxes (for example people that did not have their own house or people that served as soldiers in the military frontier) as well as those that were hiding from authorities with goal to avoid tax paying.

Census methodology

First censuses conducted in Bačka were Ottoman tax records (defters) from 1554, 1570 and 1590. These tax records recorded only those inhabitants of Bačka that paid taxes to the Ottoman authorities, while those inhabitants that did not have to pay taxes (for example those that were in Ottoman service) were not listed in tax records.

During the Habsburg administration, first censuses in Bačka were conducted in 1715 and 1720. These censuses also recorded only those inhabitants that had to pay taxes to the Habsburg authorities, while those inhabitants that did not have to pay taxes (for example those that did not have their own house) were excluded from census. These censuses did not recorded ethnicity or mother tongue of the citizens.

Later Habsburg and Yugoslav censuses recorded language spoken by the citizens, and since 1948, censuses are also recording ethnicity of the people.
