Name

In Serbian, the village is known as Вршачки Ритови or Vršački Ritovi, in Hungarian as Verseci Rétek, and in Croatian as Vršački Ritovi.

History

The village is pretty new, and was built around the former large agricultural corporation "Vršački Ritovi", once the driving economic force of the region. The place was populated before that, yet with just a few houses. Beginning from 1950s, the village started to grow, and reached its peak in the mid-1970s and 1980s, with its small but pretty rich population. The break-up of Yugoslavia brought decline of village. Leaned mostly on agricultural corporation in which majority of inhabitants were employed, village started its rapid decline. Imposed UN embargo on Yugoslavia brought halt to export of agricultural products, while breakup of USSR, its major market, brought total collapse. Corporation was state-owned, and started to break up itself into small companies, out of whom only fish farm remained in work.
