history

Rakovicza was first mentioned in a document in 1447 and belonged to the Duboz estate.

At the time of the Josephine land survey of 1717 the place was called Rakowitza and had 40 houses. After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718), when the Banat became a Habsburg crown domain , Rakowitza was part of the Temescher Banat .

During the Hungarian administration from 1880 to 1910 the place was officially called Rakovicza .

On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part fell to the Kingdom of Romania . Since then the official name is Racovița.
