History The village was founded in 1785 when the Hungarian settlers from the neighboring villages, like Ečka, began moving in the area. They were noted as the good tobacco farmers. As it was built on the land of the nobleman, count Lazar Lukač, it was named Lukácsfalva after his surname. Lukač, a count from Transylvania but of Armenian origin, encouraged the settling in the marshland which surrounded the lakes and rivers, as he needed workforce for his estate, especially for the vegetable production, as he was also selling the products. Lukač purchased vast land, tens of thousands of hectares from the Imperial Court in Vienna. He built Kaštel Ečka in the neighboring village of the same name, a castle which became cultural and entertainment center of the rich nobility. Lukino Selo, on the other hand, served for the settling of the help, gardeners, farmers, etc. The
