Until the end of the World War II, the majority of the inhabitants were Danube Swabians, some of them came around 1865 - 1880 from Tolna County (former)-Hungary, who named the village once Kawinz.

Most of the former German settlers were expelled to Allied-occupied Germany and Allied-occupied Austria in 1946-1948, following the Potsdam Agreement.

Some of them went then to USA, Canada and Australia in the 1950s.

Today few Germans of Croatia live there.
