Today's name exists from 1922, and the village got it after the nearby Orthodox monastery of Vojlovica (which was founded in 1404).

Bronze Age graves of south Russian steppe nomads was found in the village.

[1] Between 1856 and 1869, the Habsburg monarchy started a project of colonization of an uninhabited area of 154,790 acres (626.4 km2) of land near the Danube River.

The new founded village accommodated the population which contained three different nationalities: Hungarians, Slovaks and Germans.

In the beginning, the population survived by working on river dam during the summer and in the forest in the winter.

During the following years when they got more agricultural land, the population started to sell their farm products in the town, and became one of the main income factors.
