150 YEARS OF NUMERICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE VUKOVAR-TOWN AND GREATER AREA POPULATION

Summary/Abstract: Analysis of the numerical development of the population in the Vukovar area, Le. the municipality of Vukovar, as the eastern most part of the Croatian Republic in the period 1857-1991, indicates that its determinants were complex and under simultaneous greater or lesser influence of certain specific factors in each of the four mentioned intercensus periods. Vukovar's important geographic position (especially for traffic) on the Danube, as well as the natural riches of this area, determined the role of migration in the overall change (increase/decrease) of this region's number of inhabitants. Vukovar and the surrounding villages have experienced immigration of extensive proportions in certain intercensus periods, which was, especially in the second half of the 19th century, multinational in character. Immigration in the period after the First and Second world wars manifested itself through two agricultural colonizations.
