history

A place called Kewche was first mentioned in documents in 1470 as the property of the Blasiusz Szati family .

Over the centuries, different spellings of the place name appeared: 1470 Kewche , 1472 Keche , 1494 Kylsewkewche , 1851 Kécsa , 1828 Román-Kécsa , Köcse , Gross-Kétsa , 1858 Kécsa , 1863 Ketsa , 1873 Kécsa , Horvát-Kécsa , 1877 Kécsa , Horvát-Kécsa , Imreháza 1882 Kécsa , Horvát-Kécsa , KETS , Kurjácska puszta , 1888 Hettény , 1891 Hetény , Pusztahetény , Horvát-Kécsa , Kocse , 1891 Horvát-Kécsa , 1893 Kécsa , Hetény , Brinzean , Rét puszta , 1900 Horvátkécsa , 1909 Checia-croată , Horvátkécsa , 1913 Kőcse , Kurjácska , Pusztaantalháza , Pusztahetény , 1925 Checea-Croată , 1932, 1941 Checia , 1956 Checea , Checea Croată , since 2004 the municipality of Checea .

In 1717 Ketch had eight houses and was owned by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zagreb . In 1890 Kőcse belonged to Torontál County . In 1910 the two districts of Croatian Ketscha and Romanian Ketscha were merged.

After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . 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 Nagykőcse . The Hungarian place names remained valid in the Kingdom of Romania until the administrative reform of 1923 when the Romanian place names were introduced.

After the Banat was divided into three as a result of the Treaty of Trianon , the Croatian part of the village was assigned to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes and the Romanian part was assigned to the Kingdom of Romania . As a result of a border regulation in 1924, the village was reunited. Since then, the official name has been Checea .

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 ethnic German women 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, as former members of the German ethnic group in Romania , deprived the rural population of their livelihood.

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 .

Checea was a municipality until 1972, then Cenei was incorporated and has only been an independent municipality again since 2004.
