In the middle of the 17th century, during Ottoman administration, two settlements with this name were mentioned - "Gornja Kula" and "Donja Kula". These settlements were part of the Ottoman Sanjak of Segedin and were populated by ethnic Serbs. From the end of the 17th century, the region was under administration of the Habsburg Monarchy and two settlements were mentioned as "Mala Kula" and "Velika Kula" and were unpopulated. In 1714, there was a record about single settlement named Kula that had 14 houses. In 1733, the population of the settlement numbered 251 houses and its inhabitants were Serbs. Hungarians started to settle there in 1740 and Germans in 1780-85.
