history
Under the name of Titulium , the place was a Roman military camp. During the 9th century the Bulgarian prince Salan ruled in the Batschka and chose title as his seat. The place was first mentioned under its current name in 1077, when a monastery was founded there.
In the 10th century, the area was conquered by the Hungarians who ruled there until it fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1526 . A first census of 1546 showed a population of 87 households, most of which were Serbian. At that time, Prince Duk Radić ruled over the place. There was an Orthodox and a Catholic church. There were also three mosques in the 17th century.
The Habsburgs were able to drive the Turks out of this area and so it became Habsburg in 1699, from 1750 to 1763 as part of the " military border", a special protection zone on the border with the Ottoman Empire. 1848–1849, Titel was part of the Serbian Vojvodina, an autonomous region within the Austrian Empire. 1849–1872 it belonged again to the "military border" and then to Bács-Bodrog County .
After the First World War , title became part of the Serbian-Croatian-Slovenian Kingdom, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia .
