Originally called Colonia Crișan (Hungarian: Krizsántelep; German: Krischan Kolonie), the area was populated around 1750, when there was a rice mill here. It was annexed to Timișoara in 1949.[2]

History

In 1711, Pasha Hassan had his summer residence here; the residence came into the possession of the Austrians after the siege of 1716.[3] Part of the Austrian army was stationed in Ghiroda under the command of Count Pálffy.[3] During the Josephinian Land Survey under Count Claude Florimond de Mercy (1723–1725) Ghiroda is registered as an inhabited place with a church and 24 houses.[3] Mainly rice and mulberry trees were grown in the so-called Girodaer Hotter.[3] The first Romanian school, one of the first in Romania, opened here in 1774.[3]
