History

12th century BC ornitho-morphic pendants were found in Markovac-Grunjac.

The village was first time recorded in 1749. In that time it was part of the Banat of Temeswar, which was a separate province of the Habsburg monarchy. According to 1753 data, it was mainly populated by Romanians. In 1778, the Banat of Temeswar was abolished and village was included into Temesch County within the Habsburg Kingdom of Hungary. In 1848-1849, the village was part of autonomous Serbian Vojvodina and in 1849-1860 part of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Banat of Temeschwar. After the abolition of the voivodeship in 1860, the village was again included into Temesch County. In 1918, following the end of World War I, Markovac (as part of the Banat, Bačka and Baranja region) became part of the Kingdom of Serbia and subsequently part of the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (known as Yugoslavia since 1929). During World War II, from 1941 to 1944, the German Wehrmacht occupied the village. During this time, the village was part of the Banat region, which had special autonomous status within the German-occupied puppet state of Serbia. After World War II, Markovac was included into the new socialist Yugoslavia. From 1944, it was part of autonomous Yugoslav Vojvodina, which was included into socialist Yugoslav Serbia in 1945. Since 2006, Markovac is part of an independent Serbia.
