The village is located to the northeast of the Vinkovci-Tovarnik-Šid main road and railway route. The name Stari Jankovci means Old Jankovci, while to the southwest there is a smaller village of Novi Jankovci, meaning New Jankovci.

During the Croatian War of Independence, the village was occupied by the rebel Serbs in 1991. The parish church of Blessed Virgin Mary, built in 1780 with a notable Baroque-Classical main altar, was severely damaged.

Stari Jankovci is an underdeveloped municipality which is statistically classified as the First Category Area of Special State Concern by the Government of Croatia.[3]

Name

The name of the village in Croatian is in the plural, and therefore it is grammatically correct to refer to it as "Stari Jankovci are" instead of "Stari Jankovci is". A hypothetical singular version of the name would be Stari Jankovac.

History

Traces of continuous human settlement at the area of the municipality are investigated at two prehistoric settlements and one necropolis, one archaeological site from antiquity and medieval necropolis "Balkan".[2]
