history

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1400. In the period 1552–1716, the Banloc castle became the summer residence of the Turkish pasha of Timişoara. The place Banlok is entered on the Mercy map from 1723 . In 1783 the estate was sold to Lázár Karátsonyi . Karátsonyi had the castle rebuilt in 1793.

After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . Ecclesiastically, Banloc was a branch of the Catholic parish Ofsenița in the 19th century .

At the beginning of the 20th century, the law for the Magyarization of place names (Ga. 4/1898) was applied. The official place name was Bánlak . The Hungarian place names remained valid in the Kingdom of Romania until the administrative reform of 1923 when the Romanian place names were introduced.

On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part, to which Banloc also belonged, fell to Romania.

As a result of the Waffen-SS Agreement of May 12, 1943 between the Antonescu government and Hitler's Germany , all men of German origin who were conscripted into the German army. Before the end of the war, in January 1945, all women of German origin between the ages of 18 and 30 and men between the ages of 16 and 45 were deported to the Soviet Union for reconstruction work . The Land Reform Act of March 23, 1945 , which provided for the expropriation of German farmers in Romania, deprived the rural population of their livelihoods.

On June 18, 1951, the deportation to the Bărăgan steppe took place regardless of ethnicity. To this end, the Romanian government drafted a plan to cleanse the border area with Yugoslavia "from politically unreliable elements". When the Bărăgan displaced people returned home in 1956, they got back the houses and farms that had been expropriated in 1945, but the land ownership was collectivized .
