history
The first written mention of the place comes from the years 1333-1335, when the settlement appeared under the name Zarafola in the papal tithe lists and was inhabited by Romanians. In the following centuries, different spellings appear: 1557–1558 Csaranola , 1655 Szarafalu , 1723 Szaravolla , 1851 Szaravika . In 1926 the town was officially named Saravale
In 1508 the estate belonged to the Patocsi family. In 1529 the Turks completely destroyed the settlement. Then Francisc Patocsi settled the place with Serbs. The Serbs call the village Saravola . After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718), when the Banat became a Habsburg crown domain , Sarafol was part of the Temescher Banat . Romanians were settled here in the period 1723–1725. Later Germans from Tomnatic and Gottlob also settled. The village of Sarafal is noted on the Mercy map from 1723 .
On June 4, 1920, the Banat was divided into three parts as a result of the Treaty of Trianon . The largest, eastern part, to which Saravale also belongs, fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
The parish has emerged from the parish of Sânpetru Mare (Groß Sanktpeter) since 2004 .
