During the Ottoman administration (16th-18th century), Pazova was populated by ethnic Serbs. In the 18th century (after 1760) Evangelic Slovaks settled in Pazova, and in 1791 Germans arrived here as well. Germans lived in separate settlement known as Nova Pazova ("New Pazova"), thus the old settlement was named Stara Pazova ("Old Pazova"). Until the second half of the 20th century, Slovaks were largest ethnic group in the town of Stara Pazova, while largest ethnic group in the surrounding municipality were Serbs. According to the 1910 census, population of the Stara Pazova municipality numbered 46,430 inhabitants, of whom 24,262 spoke Serbian language, 9,348 German language, 5,779 Slovak language, and 5,670 Croatian language.
