Tovariševo is one of the old Serb communities of Vojvodina, first mentioned in 1543, during Ottoman administration. It administratively was part of the Ottoman Sanjak of Segedin. In the end of the 17th century, the village was abandoned, but was repopulated in the beginning of the 18th century, during Habsburg administration. A description from the end of the 18th century (by András Vályi) states that ""Tovarisova is a Rac" (Serb) "village in Bács county. The landowner is the Royal Hungarian Chamber and the population follows the old faith" (i.e. Orthodox). "The black soil gives wheat, barley and oats, the village has an oak forest and a bad vineyard; it hasn't any water, but after the long autumn rains the soil became sodden; it lacks reed but it has silk-beetles. The nearest market-town is Újvidék "(Novi Sad)", where people can earn money from the sale of cattle.""
