The current administrative area belonged to the Ottoman Eyâlet Tımışvâr from 1552 to 1718 , then to the Panschowa District of the Temescher Banat and since 1765 to the Regimental District of the Timisoara Settlement Corps ( German-Banat Border Infantry Regiment No. 12 ) in the Banat military border area . After the Banat military border was dissolved , the four municipalities came to the Hungarian chair districts of Antalfalva (Kovačica) and Pancsova ( Pančevo ) of Torontál County in 1872 .
