In Serbian and Croatian, it is known as Fruška gora (pronounced [frûʃkaː ɡǒra], Фрушка гора), in Hungarian as Tarcal (also Almus-hegy or Árpatarló), in German as Frankenwald, and in Latin as Alma Mons.

[2] The name of "Fruška Gora" is "Frankish mountain" in English whose meaning is based on describing a historical event.

It is recorded that during the reign of emperor Marcus Aurelius Probus, 276–282, who was born in the nearby Sirmium, the first grapevines on the mountain were planted.

Golden age of the Fruška Gora's viticulture began after 1699 and the Treaty of Karlowitz, when Ottomans were expelled from the area, until the late 19th century.

In Sremski Karlovci, a famous dessert wine called bermet is produced, with protected geographical indication.

It is recorded that the crates of bermet were used as a bribe by the Serbs to obtain certain privileges from the Austrian empress Maria Theresa.

[2] The slopes of Fruška Gora are perfectly suited for grape arbors, and wine-makers producing Traminer, Riesling and other wines in the region.

After the fall of communism, the Serbian Orthodox Church got 10,000 hectares restitution in the area of their nationalized properties.

Pannonian plant endemites include Tatar dock (Crambe tataria), broadleaf wild leek and Hungarian leopard's-bane.

The discovered species is woodland crocus, it was found on only one location, but already spread to several thousand individual plants.

Symbol of Fruška Gora is eastern imperial eagle, today with only 2 or 3 remaining breeding couples.

One bull and four cows were transported from the zoo in the Czech Republic and Poland's Białowieża Forest reserve, respectively.

Foul play was excluded, and it was suggested the trauma was caused by another animal or by the fall of the tree during the severe storm in July.

In the Early Middle Ages, this area was settled by Quadi, Huns, Goths, Gepids, Slavs and Avars.

The Franks expelled Huns, Avars, Gepids and Lombards from this area and formed the southern border of the Frankish Empire, ultimately giving its name to the mountain.

[20] During World War II, this area was occupied by the Axis Powers, and Fruška Gora was an important center of Partisan resistance movement.

[21] On 28 March 2003, police revealed that former Serbian president Ivan Stambolić had been assassinated by eight men on the mountain.

In 1952, in the locality of Bikić Do, a Roman vault was discovered with 11,500 coins, including ones from the reign of Constantine the Great.

The Fruška Gora Monasteries were declared Monuments of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, and are protected by the state.

Due to such a large number of monasteries on one place, Fruška Gora is colloquially called Serbian Mount Athos.
