The village of Skorenovac is founded in Serbia by Székely Hungarians

Background. Skorenovac is a village in the Kovin municipality, in the South Banat District of Serbia, in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. A village named Gyurgyova-Rádayfalva (Đurđevo) existed between 1869 and 1886 at a location between Banatski Brestovac and the Danube river; the village was also known as Nagygyörgyfalva (1883–1886). In 1886, its population was resettled to the location of present-day Skorenovac and Ivanovo. The new village was named Székelykeve from 1886 to 1922 and was founded during the time of Franz Joseph I.

Settlement. The majority of original settlers were Székely Hungarians from Bukovina, specifically from villages such as Istensegits, Fogadjisten, Hadikfalva, Józseffalva, and Andrásfalva. These settlers were originally from Madéfalva in Transylvania. Additionally, some German families from Plandište and Pločice, and Bulgarian families from Dudeștii Vechi, settled in Skorenovac during the same timeframe.

Administration. The first steady teacher came to the village of Gyurgyova in 1885 and then, in 1886, to Skorenovac. In 1886, Ágoston Kollár became the first judge and mayor of Skorenovac, serving until 1890. The village had 506 houses in 1888 and 685 houses in 1910, figures that document the settlement's early growth after its founding.
