Bačko Novo Selo was historically populated by Danube Swabians. Following the end of the Second World War, the Yugoslav Communist authorities displaced the German population of the village and resettled families from Bosnia. The Yugoslav Communist authorities aimed to develop Bačko Novo Selo into a Muslim colony of Vojvodina, however by the spring of 1947, only an estimated 138 out of an expected 320 Muslim families settled in Bačko Novo Selo.[2]
Neighbouring places are Plavna and Mladenovo (both located in Bačka), as well as Sotin and Opatovac, which are situated across the Danube in the Croatian part of Syrmia.
