In 1327 village Kereky ( or ÃÂõÃÂõúøÃÂ) was established between Palanka and Gajdobra. The next time village was mentioned was in 1512. During the Ottoman rule (16thâÂÂ17th century), two villages existed at this location: Kerekià(ÃÂõÃÂõúøÃÂ) and Metkovià(ÃÂõÃÂúþòøÃÂ). Both villages were populated by ethnic Serbs. Hungarians called them Metkovics and Kerekity, which were modified versions of the Serbian names.
In 1650, KerekiÃÂ was uninhabited, but 38 years later Serbs again settled there. Today KerekiÃÂ is a name of the farm near Nova Gajdobra. In the 19th century Germans rebuilt it and lived here together with Serbs and Hungarians. It was a part of Habsburg Empire until 1918, when it became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In 1922, it officially changed its name to Nova Gajdobra.
