history

The first documentary mention comes from the year 1367. The name "Bara" comes from Slavonic. In medieval documents the place is described as "terra acquosa", ie a swamp area.

The village of Bara belonged to the Șoimoş castle . In 1477 the estate was owned by the Prefect de Pozsony ( Bratislava ). During the Turkish rule the place was destroyed, but was rebuilt in 1690-1700.

After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . In 1879 Pavel Teodorescu and Constantin Florea bought the estate. Bara was a Romanian town and remained mostly Romanian under the Habsburg Monarchy .

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

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three , whereby Bara fell to the Kingdom of Romania .

In the interwar period, the village of Bara had about 1000 inhabitants. After the Second World War, however, there was a strong emigration.

In the area of ​​the municipality of Bara, a paleontological nature reserve with a fossil deposit from the Tertiary , the fossil deposit Rădmăneşti , was discovered.
