Rumenka

In Serbian and Croatian, the village is known as Rumenka (Руменка), and in Hungarian as Piros or Piross. The story about origin of the name of Rumenka claim that in the early years of existence of the village, the land contained many red flowers and when looked upon from a distance Rumenka looked like a red field. Therefore, it was named "Rumenka" in Serbian (the name came from the word "rumen", meaning "red" in Serbian) or "Piros" in Hungarian (word that also meaning "red"). ==History and culture==

It was first mentioned in 1237. During the Ottoman rule, in 1590, the population of the village numbered 20 houses. In this time, Rumenka was populated by Serbs.
