history

The place was first mentioned in 1411 when the Bekeny estate was donated by King Sigismund to the Macskasy family . At the end of the 15th century (1489) King Matthias Corvinus donated the property to Ladislaus Fiath as a reward for good service. Over time, the place appears in various documents under the names Beken , Bukin , Bwken , Bwkyn and Bwkinz .

Until 1526 the settlement belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary . During the Ottoman rule (1526-1718) it belonged to the Vilâyet Timișoara. From 1718 to 1778 the village was part of the Habsburg crown domain Temescher Banat . The official place name was Krumpendorf . In 1778 the Banat was awarded to the Kingdom of Hungary by Empress Maria Theresa . From 1849 to 1860 it was part of an independent crown land of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Temescher Banat . After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary .

In the first decade of the 20th century, the law for the Magyarization of place names (Ga. 4/1898) was applied, including the Magyarization of all toponyms on maps , land register extracts and city ​​maps . The official place name was Bőkény . The Hungarian place names remained valid until the administrative reform of 1923 in the Kingdom of Romania , when the Romanian place names were introduced.

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