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) . The village was completely depopulated during the Turkish era. On the Josephine land survey are Kiss Iratosz and Nagy Iratosz registered as Pusta. In 1787 György Szalbek bought Nagyirato's predium. The village was founded between 1810 and 1820 when the Szalbek family set up a tobacco plantation here.

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 Nagyiratos .

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in border regulation, whereby Iratoșu fell to the Kingdom of Romania . As a result, Romanians, mainly from Bihor County , settled in Iratoșu. These established two new streets, next to the five inhabited by Hungarians.
