In the early 19th century, area was known as Ladne Vode ("Cold Waters") and was a distant periphery of Belgrade. It was the location where many streams, flowing down from Karaburma, were reaching the Danube. It became the vacation and excursion location for city Turks. They were later replaced by the families of the Belgrade Jews who were living in the neighborhood of Jalija, or the Lower Dorćol. After the 1860s, and complete withdrawal of the Turks from Serbia, Serbian families, especially those of clerks and notaries, began to spend free time in Ladne Vode.
