history
The first written mention comes from the year 1506.
Over the centuries, different spellings of the place name appeared: 1506 Konop , 1585 Konos , 1722 Konop , 1743 Konopp , 1808 Konop , 1851 Konop , 1858, 1863, 1877 Konop , 1882 Konop , Conop , 1893 Konop , 1909 Conop , Konop , 1913 Konop , 1921 Conop , Konop , 1925 Conop , 1950 Conop .
Until the First Austrian Turkish War (1526), the settlement belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then to the Ottoman Empire (1526–1699). After the Peace of Karlowitz (1699), Arad and the Maroscher Land came under Austrian rule , while the Banat south of the Marosch remained under Turkish rule until the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) . As a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Arad region, like the whole of Banat and Transylvania, was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy . The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in border regulation, whereby Conop fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
The name of the village goes back to the Hungarian noble family Konopi. The last heir was Baron Coloman Konopi (1880–1947). The family's fort is located in Odvoș .
