Name
The settlement's name is the Serbian transliteration of Bangladesh, a country in South Asia. The origin of the name is unknown.[1]
History
Before being populated, Bangladeš was intended to be pig farmland. Bangladeš was founded in 1972 by the intervention of the Center for Social Work of Novi Sad (Script error: No such module "Lang".) to resettle 100 Roma families who were displaced after a great fire destroyed a Romani settlement in Novi Sad. It was intended to be temporary. However, the settlement essentially became permanent.[1] The settlement's households received potable pipeline water supply in 2004 and electricity in 2009.[2]
Planned renovation and restructuring was announced in 2020, however, it has still not occurred. On April 12, 2024, a fire broke out, causing over 100 denizens to be evacuated.[3]
