history
Vatin village has had many names throughout history . The first name, Vodad, dates back to 1334, followed by Vadah (1414), Vat (1421), Vattina (1717), the Hungarian name Verseczát (1911) and finally today's Vatin in 1919.
The village was founded as a parish in 1333 by a priest Nikolaj and was given the name Vodad. The first settlers were Serbs. In 1411 Joakim (Jakob) Badad was mayor of the settlement. In 1414 the Hajduks Matija and Emerik Vadah lived in this settlement , who gave the settlement its second name. In 1421, Vat was ruled by Count Jovan (Johannes) Nađlak. After his death in 1427, King Sigismund Vat donated to Baron Albert Nađmihalj. When his son Georg betrayed the king, Sigismund Vat gave the Hungarian Count Šarvarin as a present. The Nađmihalj family never got over the loss of Vat, they tried to get it back in 1550 when it was given to the Serbian Count Petar Petrović. In 1597 King Sigismund II sold Vat to Baron Vukašin Pribek. Thus the village of Vatin experienced a very varied affiliation to different counties and kingdoms in the Middle Ages .
In 1713, Vat consisted of 18 households. In 1716 Vat was added to the municipality of Vršac. Vat, called Vattina from 1717, consisted of 27 households in 1717, 36 households in 1749 and 34 households in 1751. The present Orthodox church was built in the 1730s and renovated in 1874, so that it was re-consecrated in 1874. In 1859 the Serbian counts Viktor and Ladislav Đirkić bought the village and the lands. In 1855 today's Catholic Church was built. In 1869 Vattina had 510 inhabitants. In 1890 there were 581 inhabitants. In 1900 there were 661 inhabitants, in 1910 644 inhabitants. In 1902 there were 135 Germans living in Vattina who had their own school in German. From 1891 there was a train connection in Vattina and from 1908 there was also a railway station. From 1911 until 1919 Vattina was named after the Hungarian name Verseczát. In 1914 the town hall was renewed. In 1921, Vatin had a population of 521 people. Even then the Serbs made up the majority of the population, but minorities of Hungarians, Slovaks, Romanians and Germans also lived in Vatin. In 1919 Vatin was separated from the Vršac- Timișoara train connection and the railway station became a school.
Icon painting has been practiced in Vatin for centuries and iconostasis building from 1893 to 1919 . Some valuable icons are now in the Vršac National Museum . This makes Vatin one of the centers of icon painting in the Banat .
