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 .
