History
The village was first mentioned in 1332 as Cherezek. During the Ottoman invasion it was devastated. In the 19th century, the area of present-day village belonged to Count József Csekonics (a Hungarian of Croatian descent). The modern village was founded in 1828. Its first inhabitants were Hungarians, but since they left from the village, Csekonics settled Germans in 1829.
