Srbobran (Serbian: Србобран, pronounced [sr̩̂bɔbraːn]; Hungarian: Szenttamás)[4] is a town and municipality located in the South Bačka District of the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia.

[5] Archaeological records indicate that there has been human settlement in the territory of present-day Srbobran since prehistoric times.

The Serbian defense line was located near this town, hence the name Srbobran, which means "Serbs's defender".

The Hungarian troops captured Sentomaš on the fourth attempt, on April 4, 1849, and burned the town to the ground.

Having suppressed the Hungarian anti-Habsburg movement (in 1849), Austrian authorities established a new province to which Sentomaš belonged to: the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar, which existed until 1860.

Sentomaš became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (called Yugoslavia after 1929) in 1918 and was officially named Srbobran.

In 1944, the Soviet Red Army and Yugoslav partisans expelled Axis troops from the region, at this time approximately 2000 civil people with Hungarian nationality was killed by revenge.

During the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, some Serb refugees came from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo, and settled in Srbobran.

There are two notable buildings in Srbobran, both of which are churches (one is Serb Orthodox, the other one is Roman Catholic) and both are built in highly sophisticated late baroque style.
