Stanišić is one of the biggest settlements in Sombor municipality. It’s set on the slope of the loess plateau where the plateau meets Bačka loess plateau. The legal act of giving the settlement as a gift to Pal Serényi, a royal count and respected royal dignitary, represents the first record about this village. The village has been populated with Serbian ethnic group from Baračke and Dautovo since 1763. After the Second World Ward many families from Dalmatia (Croatia) have moved to this area. The name Stanišić dates from 1832.
The village celebrates its Slava on 19th of August known as Preobraženje (Transfiguration of Jesus, lat. Transifiguration Domini) and during the festivities many exhibitions of local amateur icon makers are organized as well as an exhibitions of handmade crafts. The festivity is also a good opportunity for an amateur theater group “Prometej” to show their program.
