history
The village is first mentioned in 1406 under the name Zyluas . In 1650 Zilagy appears in the documents of the time.
Legend has it that the priest Zilagi or Silagi from Transylvania founded the village by merging several hamlets. Another variant says that the Haiduc Moise Silăgeanu or Sălăgeanu is said to have united the hamlets into a single village. Helmut Wettel suspects in his book "Der Buziascher Bezirk" that the place name is of Slavic origin: Syla (German post, column) or Zil (cimbalom) or Silva (plum).
During the Turkish occupation , until 1659, the village belonged to the Lugoj district and Transylvania. On the Josephine land survey of 1717, the place Sillage is registered with 50 houses and belonged to the district of Ciacova .
From 1849 to 1860 it was part of an independent crown land of the Voivodeship of Serbia and Temescher Banat and belonged to the Buziaș district . Between 1840 and 1850, Germans and Hungarians were settled in the village. The official language was German. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . In 1892 the village received the status of a municipality. The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the triple division of the Banat, whereby Silagiu fell to the Kingdom of Romania . Since 1968 Silagiu belongs to the administrative area of the city of Buziaș.
