Bački Monoštor ([Бачки Моноштор or Bački Monoštor] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help); Croatian (Šokac): Bački Monoštor; Hungarian: Monostorszeg) is a village located in the Sombor municipality, in the West Bačka District of Serbia. It is situated in the autonomous province of Vojvodina. The village has a Croat majority, most of whom from the Šokac community and its population numbering 3,920 people (2002 census).
History
The first inhabitants of this village were Catholic South Slavs who spoke the ikavian dialect. They escaped here 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.
