The town of Dvor was named Dvor na Uni in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.[6] As a majority of the present-day inhabitants are Serbs, the Serbian language is co-official as a second official language, alongside Croatian, which is the official first language.
According to Population Censuses, the majority of the population are ethnic Serbs. Between 1991 and 2011 the number of Serb residents fell from 14,555 to 4,005, a drop from 86.5% of the population to 71.9%. The number of Croat residents remained essentially the same, 1,395 and 1,440, respectively, but given the population decline, its size, as a percentage of the population, rose from 9.58% to 25.85% of the population of Dvor.

Religion
Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint George
Serbian Orthodox Church of Saint George was constructed in short period of 6 months in 1880.[9] The construction was supported by baron Franjo Filipović who donated 12000 Forintas for this task.[9] As the building was constructed in relative rush it was perceived as mediocre in architectural style and therefore during its reconstruction in 1957 major adaptations were done on the basis of the model of church in Javoranj.[9] Interior frescoes from 1904 are, together with religious elements, representing also the Kosovo Cycle.[9]
Roman Catholic Chapel of Saint Peter and Paul
Roman Catholic Chapel of Saint Peter and Paul was constructed in 1848.[9] It served as the model for larger orthodox church in the village.[9] It was reconstructed in 1971, then destroyed in 1991 during the Croatian War of Independence when the village was a part of self-proclaimed Republic of Serbian Krajina, and was reconstructed once again after the end of war.[9]
