_ There are many versions of the name of the city “Mramorak”. The most probable and natural version is the one that talks about shepherds who were sitting on a giant rock plaque called Mramor, and resting while their flock was drinking water from one of the three springs. Mramorak is located in the middle of the road between Pancevo and Kovin. The historical story of Mramorak started in 1717. when it was mentioned as a deserted, uninhabited place used only for the pasture of cattle. At first, Mramorak was inhabited by Serbs, then by Romanians and at least, by Germans. These three nationalities would represent the inhabitants of Mramorak until 1944.
_Nowadays, Mramorak is an agricultural settlement, but the interesting fact is that right before the War Mramorak was an agricultural- crafty settlement with 139 craft shops and 25 commercial shops. There also were certain industrial obejects, for example, the mill capacity of 14 ton for 24 hours, which was burned down after the war. There were two tile factories, one brick plant and one mill. Germans were the owners of all these objects. When the war ended all commercial and craft shops and industrial objects disappeared.
