The Fruška Gora Partisan Detachment was the first organized partisan unit on the Fruška Gora hills and throughout the Srem region. It was formed on September 9, 1941, and was made up of scattered groups of partisans from the Fruška Gora villages and communists who had escaped from prison in Sremska Mitrovica. During the first few months, the detachment limited its activities to smaller operations and organizational work—forming local units in the villages, gathering weapons, and establishing contacts. Greater combat activities of the Fruška Gora Detachment began with numerous attacks on the Ustasha authorities in the villages on the western slopes of Fruška Gora in February and March 1942. The detachment was joined by village units from surrounding settlements such as Divoš, Ležimir, and others. During the spring, the uprising intensified so much that in April the detachment was reorganized into four companies, and by August 1942 it had grown to six companies, each with over 50 fighters. As was the case with the Danube Detachment, at the height of its activity, the Fruška Gora Detachment's companies would raid villages, burn archives, drive out occupying forces, carry out sabotage, and seize weapons and food. The Fruška Gora Detachment was disbanded after the Great Enemy Offensive in the fall of 1942. After most of the fighters were sent to Bosnia in November 1942, where the first Vojvodina brigades would be formed, the remaining fighters from the Fruška Gora and Danube Detachments formed the First Srem Detachment in 1943.
Throughout Fruška Gora, along the mountain ridge following Partizanski Put, during the 1970s and 1980s, memorials were erected dedicated to the Fruška Gora and Danube Detachments. These are large stone blocks marking the locations of the partisan detachments and their companies. Most of the memorials are surrounded by landscaped areas for picnicking and resting.
