History
One Scordisci archaeological site in Sarvaš dating back to late La Tène culture was excavated in the 1970s and 1980s as a part of rescue excavations in eastern Croatia.[3] Archaeological site was a part of the settlement network of Scordisci in the area of Vinkovci.[3]
According to the 1931 census in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the town's population included 1157 Danube Swabian Germans (the majority).[4] These folk were almost all expelled by the Communist regime of Josip Broz Tito after 1945.[5]
The local Catholic church was completely destroyed in the country's War of Independence.[5] By 2006 the church was restored.[6]
