After the conquest of Timișoara (1552) in the First Austrian Turkish War , the Turks moved towards Kreischgebiet . In 1574 Bayezid was registered as the landlord of Gurahoncz. Various Hungarian noble families, such as the Borosbeny family, owned the estate in the 17th century.

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) . On the Josephine land survey is Gura Honcz entered. On the Josephine map it can be seen that Gura Honcz was on the left bank of the White Kreisch , while the villages of Iosaş and Iosăşel were on the right bank. Today Iosăşel is incorporated into Gurahonț.

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 official place name was Gurahoncz .

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the regulation of borders , whereby Gurahonț fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
