history

The village was first mentioned in 1488 as Bapsa .

Over the centuries different spellings of the place name appeared: 1488 Also Bapsa , Felsew Bapsa , Kewzepsew Bapsa , 1717 Babscha , 1808 Babsa , 1839 Babsa , 1858, 1863, 1877, 1882, 1893 Babsa , 1909 Babşa , Babsa , 1913 Babsa , 1921 Babşa , Babsa , 1932 Babşa .

In the Middle Ages, the village had several landlords: Cziko Pomazi in 1488 and Ferenc Horozath in 1510. In 1554 the place was noted in a Turkish Defter with 42 houses. In the records of the historian Marsigli (1690-1700) Babşa belonged to the Lipova district. On the Josephine land survey of 1717, Babsa is entered with 40 houses. After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) the village was part of the Habsburg crown domain Temescher Banat . On the Mercy map from 1723, the place belongs to the Făget district and, according to Korabinszky, to the Lugoj district in 1786 .

As a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . In 1906, a Hungarian colony was founded in Babşa in the course of the Magyarization . A total of 55 houses were built and settled with Hungarians from the Kingdom of Hungary . Gradually, however, the houses were abandoned and left to decay. Today there are still 12 houses in the colony. In the 1970s, one of the houses in Timișoara was brought to the Banat National Museum , where it can be seen in a permanent exhibition.

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the division of the Banat into three parts , whereby Babşa fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
