Abstract
This work tries to present some demographic and social circumstances in the settlements of Darda manor in today's Croatian part of Baranja in 1785, in order to answer the question; to which extent did the modernization which started from the Vienna court, and which, although in different intensity, embraced various fields of life, influence that manor. It also tries to determine the extent and in which areas did enlightener's ideas have success. Analyses and interpretation are based exclusively on Croatian interpretation of Latin original by Stjepan Srsan, which under the title "Baranja in 1785" was published by National Archives in Osijek in 1999. The translation brings facts on Baranja county and region of Branjin vrh in general, and on settlements of Belje and Darda manor which are today in Croatian part of Baranja. The data from the list enable the insight to certain units of demographic structure of the inhabitants (population, religious and national belonging) as well as social - property structure and economic circumstances of the examined area and time, identifying the religious and nationality complexity of the population and traditional ways of economy and life.
