Name[edit]
Its name came from the Serbian word "žaba"/жаба ("frog" in English). In Serbian, the town is known as Žabalj (Жабаљ), in Hungarian as Zsablya or Józseffalva (between 1886 and 1919), in German as Josefdorf, and in Croatian as Žabalj.[citation needed]
History[edit]

Žabalj was first mentioned in 1514 as a fortress captured by György Dózsa. During the Ottoman rule (16th-17th century), it was populated by ethnic Serbs.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, Žabalj was part of the Habsburg Military Frontier (Šajkaš Battalion). First church in Žabalj was mentioned in 1720, but it was later razed. Present-day Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Nicholas was built in 1835. In 1901, a Catholic church was built as well.
Since 1918, Žabalj was part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and subsequent South Slavic states. In a 1942 raid, during the Hungarian Axis occupation, 666 inhabitants of the town were murdered: 355 men, 141 women, 101 children, and 69 elderly people.
