- Administrative/biographical history:
- After the dissolution of the Austro-Hungary Monarchy in 1918, the existing administrative-territorial division was retained on the territory of Vojvodina - three counties, districts headed by the district administrators and free royal cities and counties headed by the district heads. In line with the Decree on Land Division Into Districts of 1922, the land was divided into 33 districts. Districts, as the lower territorial-administrative units were linked to the municipalities and were formed as self-governing units, with the status of legal entities. The district organs were an assembly and a board. The Novi Sad District was a part of the Bačka region. The dictatorship, introduced on 6 January 1929, dissolved the district assemblies, suspended the district self-governments and appointed the district commissioners. The country was divided into nine banovinas, banovinas into counties, municipalities and free cities. The Novi Sad district included the municipalities of Bački Jarak, Begeč, Despot Sveti Ivan, Gložan, Nove Šove, Novi Futog, Kać, Kisač, Kulpin, Pašićevo, Petrovac, Rumenka, Stare Šove, Stari Futog, Stepanovićevo and Temerin, and was a part of the Danube Banovina. According to the Law on Municipalities of 1933, the state administration supervised the self-governing affairs of the municipal bodies and the affairs of the general administration through the office of the district administrator. The Novi Sad district administration ceased to exist with the arrival of the Hungarian occupation authorities in 1941.
