The post road of the Roman Emperor Trajan once ran through Covăsânț and connected the Roman fortress Viminatium with Budapest . The three-meter-wide road, paved with granite stones, connected Covăsinț with the fortresses in the area. Today eight kilometers of the former road on the territory of Serbia are still preserved.
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 the regulation of the borders, whereby Covăsânț fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
