History
Slakovci were first mentioned in 1491. They got their name from the weed "slak" or the Hungarian word "slavok" which means Slavs. The feudal family of Gorjanski built a fort in Slavkovci for defense against the Turks. The Turks ruled the Slakovci from 1526 to 1691, and after that the Slakovci belonged to the military territory. {{Cite web |title=Slakovci |url=https://o-jankovci.hr/index.php/o-nama/naselja-opcine/slakovci |access-date=2023-02-08 |website=o-jankovci.hr}}
