HistoryTitel is very old settlement, but its old name is not known. During the Roman rule, it was a Roman fortress. In the 9th century, Bulgarian duke Salan ruled in the territory of Bačka and his residence was in Titel. In the 10th century, the town was conquered by the Hungarians, who ruled over it until 1526. The town was first mentioned under name Titel in 1077. Between 1077 and 1095 the Catholic monastery was founded in the town. Since 1526, the town was part of the Ottoman Empire. According to the first Ottoman census from 1546, the town had 87 houses, of which most were Serbian, three were Croatian, one Hungarian, and one Vlach. The duke of the town was Vuk Radić. That census recorded that five of the citizens were immigrants, meaning that others lived there before Ottomans conquered the town. In the outset of the Ottoman rule, the town had one Orthodox and one Catholic church. In the first quarter of the 17th century, the town had three mosques, two tekijas and three medreses. Since 1699, the town was part of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was included in the Habsburg Military Frontier. Between 1750 and 1763, the town was under civil administration until it was returned to the jurisdiction of the Military Frontier. In 1848/1849, Titel was part of Serbian Vojvodina, a Serb autonomous region within the Habsburg Empire. Between 1849 and 1872, it was again part of the Military Frontier, and after 1872, it came under civil administration as a part of the Bačka-Bodrog County. After 1918, the town became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. References
