Name
The name of the village in Croatian is in the plural, and therefore it is grammatically correct to refer to it as "Petrijevci are" instead of "Petrijevci is". A hypothetical singular version of the name would be Petrijevac.
History
In the late 19th and early 20th century, Petrijevci was part of the Virovitica County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia.
