In 1918, Vukovar became part of the newly formed [[Kingdom of Yugoslavia|Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes]] ([[Yugoslavia]] in 1929). Between 1918 and 1922, Vukovar was the administrative seat of the county of Syrmia (Srijem), and between 1922 and 1929 it was the administrative seat of [[Syrmia Oblast]]. Despite the status of administrative center the settlement will get the city status only on 23 November 1919, by the decision of regent of the new state [[Peter I of Serbia]].{{sfn|Barišić Bogišić|2022|pp=205}} After the creation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and in the wake of communism gaining popularity throughout Europe, Vukovar became the location of the 2nd congress of the Socialist Labor Party of Yugoslavia (Communists) ({{lang|sh-Latn|Socijalistička radnička partija Jugoslavije – komunista}}), where it was renamed the [[Communist Party of Yugoslavia]] ({{lang|sh-Latn|Komunistička partija Jugoslavije}}). 
In 1920, ahead of the local elections, the Jewish Party was established in the town while [[Zionist]] Association was founded in 1926.{{sfn|Barišić Bogišić|2022|pp=180}} After 1929, Vukovar was part of the [[Sava Banovina]], and beginning in 1939 it was part of the [[Banovina of Croatia]]. Part of the Serb community in the town and neighbouring villages was dissatisfied with the inclusion in the new autonomous Banovina leading them to present their disagreement in the 1939 [[Vukovar resolution]].

The [[interwar period]] in Vukovar was marked with a significant growth of the shoe and textile industry that began operating in the town, including the shoe factory Bata in 1931, which was later renamed [[Borovo (company)|Borovo]]. This consequently led to a population growth–according to the 1948 census, Vukovar had over 17,000 inhabitants.<ref name=":1" />
