Until 1920, the village was called Križevci. The settlement was originally a pustara, a Pannonian type of hamlet.[6] A colonist settlement was established there in the course of the land reform in interwar Yugoslavia.[7] Serbian volunteers settled the village and changed its name into Karadžićevo. The village was named after Vuk Karadzic. During the Croatian War of Independence, Karadžićevo was controlled by the self-proclaimed SAO Eastern Slavonia, Baranja and Western Syrmia. Croat special police stationed in Varaždin attacked the village which made it suffer major damage although the SAO won the battle.[8]
According to the 1991 census, the village was inhabited by a majority of Serbs (83.21%), and minority of Croats (14.59%).[9]
