history

The village of Giroc was first mentioned in documents in 1371. Archaeological excavations, however, prove the existence of a human settlement in the area of ​​today's Giroc already during the Stone and Iron Ages .

At the time of the Josephine land survey of 1717, the place was called Girok . After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718), when the Banat became a Habsburg crown domain , Girok was part of the Temescher Banat .

Between 1865 and 1870 Girok was settled with Germans from Grabaț , Lenauheim and Variaș . The economic importance of Girok grew during the Habsburg era. In 1870 Girok became the administrative seat of the district of the same name. In 1897 the “Volksbank Girok” was founded here.

In the period 1910–1912 another colonization took place with Germans from Nițchidorf . Until 1920 the official name was Gyüreg .

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 Gyüreg also belongs, fell to the Kingdom of Romania . The official name became Giroc.
