History

In the vicinity, the Roman town of Cibalae (Vinkovci) was the birthplace of Valentinian I in 321.

During the Second World War, 107 ethnic Serbs were transferred and killed in the Jasenovac concentration camp by the Croatian fascist Ustashe.[3]

During the Croatian War of Independence, Mirkovci was under Serb control since the majority of inhabitants were ethnic Serbs.[4]

The majority of the inhabitants are ethnic Serbs. A former village, Milovanci (Hungarian: Monostormilvány) is today part of Mirkovci.
