history
During the Dacian era , the Arcidava Castle , Burebista's seat of government, was located here . The Romans then built the Arcidava fort as part of the fortress chain of the Dacian Limes , near which a settlement was built.
The first written mention of the village comes from the year 1390. In 1453 the manor Petru Deschi belonged. In the records of the historian Marsigli from 1690-1700, the settlement belonged to the Werschetz district . On the Josephine land survey of 1717 the place Waradia is registered with 180 houses.
After the Peace of Passarowitz (1718) the village was part of the Habsburg crown domain Temescher Banat . During the Habsburg era, the village belonged alternately to the Karasch district, the Severin district and, in 1779, even to the Temesch district. In 1832 the estate came into the possession of Teodor Baich and remained in his family's possession for a century.
As a result of the Austro-Hungarian Compromise (1867), the Banat was annexed to the Kingdom of Hungary within the dual monarchy of Austria-Hungary . The official place name was Varadia .
The Treaty of Trianon of June 4, 1920 resulted in the Banat being divided into three parts , after which Vărădia fell to the Kingdom of Romania .
