Name Kula means "tower" in Serbian. In the 16th-17th century, a tower with Ottoman military garrison existed at this location, hence the name of the town.

In 1733, the population of the settlement numbered 251 houses and its inhabitants were Serbs. Hungarians started to settle here in 1740 and Germans in 1780-1785. In the beginning of the 20th century, the population of Kula numbered about 9,000 people.
