history

In 1323 a settlement called Bocorundia was mentioned in the area of ​​today's village of Clopodia. In 1598 the village of Klopotiva appears for the first time in a Turkish defter .

Klopodia was originally a Slavic settlement, which can be seen from the many Slavic toponyms of the place: the brook Vrela or field names such as Prisaca . According to local researchers, the place name comes from the Slavic Klepatitj , which means the murmur of the brook. The place was called Klogodin by the Germans of the surrounding neighboring communities .

On the Josephine land survey of 1717 the place is registered with 42 houses and belongs to the district Werschetz . After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718), when the Banat became a Habsburg crown domain , Klopodia was part of the Temescher Banat .

In 1790 the place was settled with Germans and in 1862 with Bohemia. Atypical for the Banat, the Reformed, numerically the largest denomination group, built their own church in 1913. In addition, Catholics and Nazarene lived in Klopodia .

The Vekerle Petala Castle , built in 1840, is now a national historical monument and the park of the castle is a dendrological park.

After the Banat was divided into three on June 4, 1920 as a result of the Treaty of Trianon , Klopodia fell to the Kingdom of Romania . Since then, Clopodia has been the official place name.
