Bački Monoštor is a village located in the Sombor municipality, in the West Bačka District of Serbia. It is situated in the autonomous province of Vojvodina. The village has a Croat majority (that belong to the Croat subgroup of Šokac). Population of Bački Monoštor is numbering 3,920 people (2002 census). In 1991 census, largest number of inhabitants of this village declared themselves as Yugoslavs.
It was firstly mentioned in 1382. The first inhabitants of this village were Hungarians and after Catholic Croats. The Croats seek refuge here, leaving homelands from Slavonia and Bosnia. Area where they settled was located near old town and fortress named Bodrog which existed in this area during the administration of the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1717, the inhabitants of the village used the bricks from the remains of the Bodrog fortress to build a Catholic church. The newer settlers have mostly settled on another location, 1 kilometer away from the original village because this area was less endangered by floods, thus, in 1752, the church and entire old village were moved to this new location as well.
