The Banat Krajina was divided into Serbian, ethnic German (Volksdeutscher) and Romanian sections. This part of the Military Frontier bordered the Principality of Serbia to the south, Voivodship of Serbia and Tamiš Banat to the north, Transylvania and Wallachia to the east, and the Slavonian Krajina to the west. The Banat Krajina also included the south-eastern part of Bačka region, known as Šajkaška.
Some of the important cities and places in Banat Krajina were: Pančevo, Bela Crkva, Titel, Žabalj, Alibunar, Kovin, Caransebeş, etc.
The military province of Habsburg Empire known as the Banat of Temeswar was created in 1718. In 1751, Maria Theresa introduced a civil administration for the northern part of the province. The southern part known as the Banatian Military Frontier or Banat Krajina remained part of the Military Frontier until it was abolished in 1871.
