The club was founded in 1901, duringAustro-Hungarian administration. Bačka 1901 played a big role in a cultural and sport autonomy ofBunjevciCroats in Bačka during theAustro-Hungarian period.[1]
Its first name wasBácska Szabadkai Athletikai Club, since it was registered by the Austro-Hungarian authorities inHungarian language.
In its early years, the club played in the leagues of the Austro-Hungarian Kingdom of Hungary, regularly winning in the southern league. After beginning of theFirst World War, the region became part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (renamed Yugoslavia in 1929), and the club participated in theYugoslav championship twice, in its1923 inaugural season and in1925. During this time the club was namedJSD Bačka.
In 1941, during theAxis occupation of Yugoslavia, Bačka was attached toHorthy's Hungary and the club was forced to compete in theHungarian League, where it entered competition in its third-tier. In 1945 the communist authorities renamed the club toHAŠK Građanski (Croat Academical Sports Club Građanski) in their attempt to Croatize Slavic populations of Bačka region. Soon after the club was renamed toFD Sloboda. Later, it was renamed toFD Zvezda, and in 1963, the club returned the nameBačka.
