history

The current administrative area belonged to the Ottoman Eyâlet Tımışvâr from 1552 to 1718 , then to the Panschowa District of the Temescher Banat and since 1765 to the Regimental District of the Timisoara Settlement Corps ( German-Banat Border Infantry Regiment No. 12 ) in the Banat military border area . After the Banat military border was dissolved, the administrative area became the Hungarian Kubin (Kevevárai járás) district of Temes County in 1872 . The town of the same name, six villages of today's large parish , the village of Ostrovo and the village of Gyorgyevo, which existed until 1887, belonged to the Kubin chair district . In 1887 the municipality of Skorenovac was founded in the municipality of Pločica. Šumarak was still part of the municipality of Dubovac and Malo Bavanište was only founded in 1947 on an enclave of the municipality of Bavanište on the Danube . From 1918 to 1921, the municipalities Bavanište, Deliblato, Dubovac, Gaj, Kovin, Mramorak, Ostrovo, Pločica and Skorenovac belonged to Srez Kovin in Torontalsko-tamiška županija the Pokrajina Banat , Backa and Baranja , then to 1929 at the same Srez in the administrative district Donau (Podunavska oblast ) of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes . In 1929 the district was reduced in size, the municipality Ostrovo came to Srez Požarevac . From 1929 to 1941 the district (Kovin), which now consists of eight municipalities, belonged to the Dunavska banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia , from 1941 to 1945 to the district of the same name in occupied Serbia, and from 1946 to 1960 the mentioned municipalities belonged as Srez to the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia . After a reform of the territorial administrative structure between 1957 and 1959, the eight municipalities were merged with two newly created municipalities to form the large municipality of Kovin. Malo Bavanište and Šumarak were first given in the 1961 census as separate communities.
