Historic small town around a central park with old church. According to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kovin the Dacian tribe of Albocenses dwelled in this area in the 2nd century AD. There are remains of the ancient Roman fortress called Contra Margum, opposite the Margum fortress on the Danube. In the 9th and 10th centuries, this area was populated by Slavs and Romanians ruled by Voivode Glad. Glad was defeated and the area was included into the medieval Kingdom of Hungary.
The earliest mention of the settlement was in 1071 as Keuee. Kovin is mentioned in the 12th century as a seat of the county, which included most of the western Banat. Since the 14th century, the city has had a large Serb population that escaped there from Serbia under threat by the Ottomans. The Serbian despot Lazar Branković took over in 1457, but in the next year it came again under control of the Kingdom of Hungary.
In the 16th century, the city became part of the Ottoman Province of Temeşvar. During the Ottoman rule (16th-17th c.), Kovin was mostly populated by ethnic Serbs. In 1716, it became part of the Habsburg Monarchy Banat of Temeswar until 1751 when it became part of the Habsburg Military Frontier (Banat Krajina).
In 1848/1849, Kovin was part of the Serbian Voivodship, but in 1849 back under administration of the Military Frontier until its abolishment in 1873, when it was incorporated into Temes county within the Kingdom of Hungary. In 1910 Kovin had 21,795 Serbian, 6,587 German, 5,705 Romanian, and 5,355 Hungarian speakers.
This town had a significant role in the outbreak of World War I. In July 1914, a purported military skirmish here was a proximate cause of the declaration of war against Serbia by Franz Joseph I of Austria, but the report of such skirmish was apparently false, or greatly exaggerated.
In 1918, Kovin became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed Yugoslavia in 1929). 1918-1922 it was part of Banat county; 1922-1929 of Podunavska oblast; 1929-1941 Danube Banovina. 1941-1944, Kovin was in German-occupied Serbia. Heavily bombed by the Allies in 1944, in 1945 it became part of the Socialist Autonomous Province of Vojvodina within the Socialist Republic of Serbia and the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 1992, Kovin became part of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which was in 2003 transformed into the state union of Serbia and Montenegro. Since 2006 part of an independent Serbia.

Guesthouse Harizma013 is recommended as a stop and for one night. Very neat and new; Price including breakfast 44, €
Is inconspicuous on the main street, can be reached through a driveway. Unfortunately the solar system was broken = shower cold.
The loud fan in the kitchen, which also ran at night, was not okay.
