In 1237, a settlement named terra Chemey was mentioned at this location. The modern village of Čenej emanated from the grouped farms (salaši) around the local road Bački Jarak - Zmajevo. There is a Serb Orthodox church from 1835 in the village.
The Monument to the Novi Sad Partisan Detachment[2] is located slightly southeast of Čenej on the east side of Highway 100. The monument, consisting of three monoliths, is dedicated to the partisans executed by Hungarian authorities on this spot in July of 1941.
