Subotica was first mentioned in 1391 under the Hungarian name Zabadka. In 1527, Subotica was the capital of the short-lived Serbian state of the self-proclaimed Emperor John Nenad. The Ottoman Empire ruled the city from 1542 to 1686, when it became a possession of the Habsburg Monarchy. From the mid-18th century, its name was changed to Sancta Maria, after the Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. The name of the city was changed again in 1779 to Maria Theresiopolis, and the name Subotica (Szabadka) was returned to it in 1845. In 1918, Subotica became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes.
 
The city is located in the Pannonian Plain, which has a long tradition and rich cultural heritage. The municipality, which includes the city and 18 suburban settlements, covers an area of ​​1,008 square kilometers.
 
Thanks to its geographical position and hardworking residents, Subotica has over time become the most important administrative, industrial, commercial, transport and cultural center in northern Bačka, and the nearby Palić Lake makes it a tourist and recreational center for the wider area.
 
There is also a connection near the city that connects Subotica with Hungary in the north and Southern Europe via Belgrade in the south. Subotica is also connected by rail to the whole of Europe.
 
In terms of traffic, Subotica is, in the truest sense of the word, located at the crossroads of roads and railways. The E-75 highway passes in the immediate vicinity of Subotica, and the main roads to Novi Sad (M-22.1), Sombor and Kelebija (Hungary) (M-17.1), Horgoš (M-22.1) and Senta (M-24) intersect in the city itself (the part to the E-75 highway has been completed, and the rest is planned). The Belgrade - Budapest railway route passes through the urban core and there it branches off with the railway routes to Sombor, Horgoš, Crvenka and Baja. All these facts contribute to Subotica being classified as one of the most important traffic hubs in the Republic of Serbia.
