Naselje Negoslavci se spominje još u 15. stoljeću, a u literaturi je zabilježeno i pod nazivom Nikoslavci. No, o životu na ovom prostoru u doba Rimskog carstva svjedoče i brojni nalazi, među kojima je jedan od najznačajnijih rimska vojna diploma. Još od odlaska Turaka s ovih prostora u Negoslavcima se bilježi srpsko stanovništvo, a po svršetku Drugog svjetskoga rata selo, kao i obližnja mjesta, biva dodatno naseljeno stanovništvom s područja Bosne i Hercegovine. 


The settlement of Negoslavci was mentioned as early as the 15th century, and it was also recorded in the literature under the name Nikoslavci. However, the life in this area during the time of the Roman Empire is also evidenced by numerous findings one of the most significant of which is a Roman military diploma. Since the departure of the Turks from this area, the Serbian population has been recorded in Negoslavci, and after the end of the Second World War, the village, as well as the nearby towns and villages, was additionally inhabited by the population from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
