[edit] History

The former village of Beodra was first mentioned in 1331. It was established at present-day location from 1742 to 1753 and was settled by Serbs from Potisje and Pomorišje. It was a property of the Hungarian counts of Armenian origin, [1] Karátsonyi de Beodra.

The village of Karlovo was established in 1751 by former Serb frontiersmen. In 1918, the name of the village was changed to Dragutinovo, after Dragutin Ristić, colonel of Serbian army, whose unit occupied the village. In 1946, Dragutinovo and Beodra were joined into one single village known as Novo Miloševo.
