history

The place Symand was first mentioned in 1274. In a document from 1403 Schimand is listed as an "oppidum".

In 1725 the community passed into the possession of the Edelspacher family, who until 1889 had a significant influence on the development of the village. The Arad prefect and camera administrator Sigismund Edelspacher bought the goods Schimand, Matscha , Gyorok and Lökösháza as “mixta donatio” in 1725 . The purchase price was 12,908 Rhenish guilders .

The German population was called to Schimand by the landlords Edelspacher around 1800 as part of the private settlement . These came from localities in the vicinity: Elek , Aradsanktmartin and Sanktanna .

From 1717 to 1920 the municipality belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary , Arad County . The official name was Alsósimánd . After the Banat was divided into three on June 4, 1920 as a result of the Treaty of Trianon , the municipality fell to the Kingdom of Romania . Since then, the official name has been Șimand .
