History
Historically, there were two Boka's, that later merged: Srpska Boka (Serb Boka) i Hrvatska Boka (Croat Boka).
Srpska Boka (in Hungarian sources: Szerb-Bóka) was in the neighbourhood of Sečanj, while Hrvatska Boka (in Hungarian sources: Horvát-Bóka) was located eastwards from Srpska Boka.
Hrvatska Boka got its name after Croatian settlers (nobles that originated from Turopolje), that were settled there by the Diocese of Zagreb on its possessions.
