Štitar lies is in the heart of Mačva, an alluvial fertile flatland between the rivers Drina and Sava. The area of today's village was until the 18th century covered with dense and virtually impassable forest, Kitog.

By the end of 19th century, Štitar was populated by Serb refugees from outside of then-autonomous (and later independent) Serbia. The first group came from Montenegro in the 18th century, followed by others from Herzegovina, Bosnia, and parts of present-day Serbia that remained under Ottoman rule after the Second Serbian Uprising.

According to 2002 census, the village has 2,285 inhabitants, mostly Serbs.
