Historical names

Some sources say that the first mention of the village called Topolovac dating from the seventeenth century. As stated, it was a settlement with predominantly Serbian population. In the area around Bečkerek, Lugosi and Timișoara there were more settlements under this name. For Hungary maps relating to the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth century we find several villages under this name. Thus, the name transferred to more moves in the Banat villages along the river Tamis (Secanj, Šarca, Catherine). After World War II, the new settlers were given by Catherine the name of the settlement flat Topolovac.
