history

A first documentary mention comes from the year 1550. In the records of the historian Marsigli from 1690 to 1700 Prigor belongs to the Almăj district.

On the Josephine land survey of 1717 Prigor is registered with 50 houses. After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) the village was part of the Habsburg crown domain Temescher Banat . Briger is inhabited on the Mercy map from 1723 .

After the establishment of the Banat military border from 1773, the 3rd Company of the Wallachian-Illyrian Border Regiment No. 13 had its headquarters in Prigor. In 1871 the military administration was dissolved and the Hungarian county administration was introduced. The official place name is changed to Nerahalmos .

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three , whereby Prigor fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
