history

In the records of the historian Marsigli from 1690-1700 , Slivovatz appears in the Palanca district. The place Sakalovaz is entered on the Josephine land survey of 1717 . After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) the village was part of the Habsburg crown domain Temescher Banat . German colonists were settled here in 1722, but they fled to Bela Crkva during the Turkish War of 1738 . After the Turkish war, Serbs from the Drina valley settled in Socol. Since then, Socol has been a predominantly Serbian village. In 1764 the village was incorporated into the Banat military border and incorporated into the Wallachian-Illyrian border regiment . The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three parts , whereby Socol fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
