History
These lands were under the rule of the Ukrainian Cossacks of Hetmanate and Zaporozhian Sich from XV to XVIII century.Громко Т. В.

The village has its origins in a military settlement founded by Serb soldier migrants on the right bank of the Adzhamka river in 1753 as part of the New Serbia colony in Imperial Russia. The name of the village has Serbian roots, and is related to the modern Serbian-language placename Subotica ({{lang-sr-cyrl|Суботица}}). The Serbs had hostile relations with the local existing population, who saw the soldiers as a threat to their cultural identity. These differences and hostility between populations faded away with time.{{Cite news |title=Суботці: історія та сьогодення |url=http://subottsi.com.ua/news/shkilni-novyny/35-subottsi-istoriya-ta-sogodennya.html |access-date=2023-10-18}} In 1886, there were 2791 people in the village.
During the Holodomor of 1932-1933, at least 300 villagers died.
