The village has a Serb ethnic majority (69.81%) with a present Romani (13.58%) and Hungarian minority (9.38%). It has a population of 1,620 people (2002 census).
In Serbian, the village is known as Српски Крстур / Srpski Krstur (also simply Крстур / Krstur), in Croatian as Srpski Krstur, and in Hungarian as Ókeresztúr.
Its name means "the Serb Krstur" (There is also a village of Ruski Krstur in Vojvodina, meaning "the Rusyn Krstur"). The Serbian name of the village derived from Serbian word krst ("cross" in English), while Hungarian name derived from Hungarian word kereszt (meaning "cross" in English too). The Hungarian word kereszt itself is of Slavic origin - variants of this word in some other Slavic languages are including Bulgarian "Кръст" ("krst"), Macedonian "Крст" ("krst"), Russian "Крест" ("krest"), Ukrainian "Хрест" ("hrest"), etc.
Bronze Age graves of south Russian steppe nomads were found in nearby Đala.

In 1526-1527 it was part of the Serb state of Emperor Jovan Nenad, and was subsequently included into the Ottoman Empire. During the Ottoman administration, the village was part of the Temeşvar Eyalet. In the middle of the 17th century, the village was uninhabited.
