history

Ghiroda was first mentioned in the papal tithe lists in 1332 . In 1389 the place appears under the name Gyureg . Other place names that emerged over the centuries are: Gyrod (1393), Nagyijrwg (1429), Gywred (1492), Gywrug (1492), Gywrewd (1495 and 1497), Gywreg (1498), Gywrewdy (1497, 1503 and 1511).

In 1552, when the Banat became a Turkish paschalik (Vilâyet), Ghiroda belonged to the Timisoara district. At the time of the Josephine land survey of 1717 the place was called Girouda and had 24 houses. After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718), when the Banat became a crown domain of the Habsburg monarchy , the beer factory was built in Timisoara that same year . During this time, hops were practiced in Ghiroda .

On the map of the governor Claudius Florimund Mercy from 1723-1725 Gyroda appears as a village in the Timisoara district. From 1718 to 1778 the Banat was a Habsburg crown domain . In 1779, Empress Maria Theresa ceded the Banat to Hungary . Emperor Joseph II decided to sell the villages in the Banat, which were now under Hungarian administration. Ghiroda was sold to Sandor Mihaly of Pozsony in 1781.

On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part, to which Ghiroda also belongs, fell to the Kingdom of Romania . Today Ghiroda is a municipality to which the village of Giarmata-Vii also belongs.

Since 2015, Ghiroda has been connected to the Timișoara trolleybus network by the M11 line of the Societatea de Transport Public Timișoara .
