This town is located in the northern part of Sumadija and occupies even 15% of the Šumadija district. The favorable geographical position and natural conditions in the municipality of Topola have created favorable conditions for the lives of people in this region since the earliest times. Locations and archaeological findings confirm these findings.

In the Neolithic era, there was a large settlement on the site of the Lift in the village of Lipovac and smaller neolithic settlements in the Blaznave, Donje Trnave, Belosavci and Topola. In the ancient times, today’s territory of the Popol municipality was part of the province of Upper Mezia, which represented the Roman Empire. In the area of ​​Topola village, the remains of the Roman material culture were found: the capitals of the columns and the foundations of the foundations from the late Roman period (Svetlić).

Poplar is located at the foot of the famous Oplenac hill, famous for its significant cultural and historical monument – the mausoleum of King Peter I.
