In the introduction of this paper the authors review the legal rules which regulated the institution of a county doctor and their legal obligations. The introduction also gives the insight into the social environment in Senta, a town with its organized senate. The research included the period from 1876 to 1941. The Historical Archives were searched for the data about the county doctors working there in this period. The data for the period 1919-1941 were so scarce that the authors were obliged to go through the local newspapers in order to get any, very often meagre, information. Although some very important data are missing for some of the doctors, these doctors are listed here in order to enable further research. The first officially registered county doctor in Senta was Dr Laslo Zingor, who held that post until April 28, 1887. Prior to his arrival to Senta, Dr Janos Remai Nepomuki, the town doctor, had probably performed the duty of the county doctor. In the period from 1876 to 1941 the following doctors worked in Senta as county doctors: Dr Laslo Zingor, Dr Antal Strilic, Dr Jozef Havel, Dr Lipot Kovac, Dr Andor Senes, Dr Borivoje Djordjevic, Dr Vladislav Matejic, Dr Jovan Miskovic, Dr Radmilo Lj. Jankovic-Ozrenac, Dr Miloje Josipovic, Dr Vasilije Golubovic and Dr Mihajlo Romanenko. The above biographies are enriched by the photos of the doctors, advertisements and other texts taken from various local newspapers.
