history

The place Topolovăț was first mentioned in a Turkish script in 1554. At the time of the Josephine land survey of 1717, the place was called Topolovac and had 40 houses. Thanks to the favorable traffic situation at the Timișoara-Lugoj and Buziaș - Lipova intersection , there was a post office in Topolovăț in 1767.

Work on the Bega Canal began in 1728. To regulate the Bega, the Dutch engineer Max Fremaut put on ship lifts in Topolovăț and Coşteiu between 1758 and 1760 . Labor camps were created to secure the manpower needed to build the lifts. This is how Topolovățu Mic and Coşteiu Mic were born . For the time being, Topolovățu Mic belonged to Topolovățu Mare. Topolovățu Mic has been an independent village since 1828.

The Treaty of Trianon on June 4, 1920 resulted in the triple division of the Banat , whereby Topolovățu Mare fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
