History
The club was formed in the summer of 2000, when Petroleum Industry of Serbia (NIS) took over the founding rights and became the owner of the entire capital of KK Beobanka. Thus was created KK NIS Vojvodina before the start of the 2000–01 season. In their debut season in the Yugoslav Basketball League, they finished in eight place during the regular season, and thus qualified for the play-offs, where they was eliminated in the first round by KK Budućnost Podgorica after two games. In 2006, the club changed its name to KK Vojvodina Srbijagas.
In the summer of 2011, the club merged with KK Novi Sad.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We don’t know when our name came into being or how some distant ancestor acquired it. We don’t understand our name at all, we don’t know its history and yet we bear it with exalted fidelity, we merge with it, we like it, we are ridiculously proud of it as if we had thought it up ourselves in a moment of brilliant inspiration.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“A great proportion of the inhabitants of the Cape are always thus abroad about their teaming on some ocean highway or other, and the history of one of their ordinary trips would cast the Argonautic expedition into the shade.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
