Main article: History of Novi Sad

The settlement from which Stari grad (and Novi Sad) developed was founded in 1694. This settlement was known as Racka varoš or Petrovaradinski Šanac and was part of the Danube military frontier. The original area of Petrovaradin Šanac was in the northwest part of today's Stari grad and the southwest part of today's Podbara. Until the middle of the 19th century, the settlement mainly expanded to the west, where new urban districts — Rotkvarija, Salajka and Grbavica — were formed, and only later expanded to the east and south, so that some parts of today's Stari grad are newer in origin than some neighboring urban districts.

Little and Great Limans edit

In The General Urban Plan of 1845, the eastern border of the city's area was made up of the streets of Alekse Šantića, Želežnička, Narodnog heroja and Zmaj Jovina.

The major expansion of the city centre towards the south and east occurred only after World War I and World War II, when Stari grad was given its present appearance.

The southeastern part of today's Stari grad in the past was called "Mali Liman" (Little Liman) and "Veliki Liman" (Great Liman), which most of which is part of modern day Liman neighborhoods. Up until the early 1930s, the Little Liman contained ponds, sandbars, water plants, willows and meadows.

Little Liman covered today's Danube Park and the area along the Danube towards the former railway embankment, under which were the underpasses that connected to the Great Liman. The area of Little Liman was framed by the Danube, the Danube Street, the Zmaj Jovina Street, the King Alexander Street and the railway embankment (today's Tsar Lazar Boulevard).

In Little Liman, fishing from boats was common, and along the Danube, towards the Fortress, there was a collection of buildings called the Brukšanac (Bruckschanc), a small fortification that provided protection for a pontoon bridge. A few hundred meters upstream was the first city beach, with a wooden building on the water. This beach was later torn down to make room for the city flood embankment. The new city beach called Štrand would open in 1911 and would is located in what is today the banks of the Liman neighborhood. The name Little Liman was completely lost when the terrain was fully built and thus the central city core connected to the Danube.
