Treaty of Passarowitz
The area was first mentioned as "Bagd" in a 1436 deed. Part of the Habsburg Banat of Temeswar upon the 1718 Treaty of Passarowitz, the settlement appeared as "Bogdan" in a 1723 chart. In 1770/71 Banat Swabian colonists from Germany settled here in a place called "Neuhoff". By the 1920 Treaty of Trianon, the area fell to the Kingdom of Romania.
