Padina covers 13% of Kovačica municipality, that is parting of the ways of roads to Belgrade, Zrenjanin, Novi Sad and Vršac.

System of valleys surrounding Padina has two directions, which cross on southern part called BAUK.

The second wave came six years after the foundation of the village and was mostly from outside of modern day Slovakia, majority of which came from Pest and Ungvar regions.

The settlement was initiated by Archduke Ludwig to strengthen the Military Border between Austrian and Ottoman Empires.

The official name was related to the initiator - Ludwigsdorf in German or Nagylájosfalva in Hungarian (both meaning Ludwig's village).

In the beginning, the settlers had problem with drinkable water, as it is being found deep underground and the soil is unstable.
