Timiș County

Timiș County encompasses an area of 8,697 square kilometers, containing two municipalities, eight towns, and eighty-nine villages across plains and mountains.

Following the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, the territory became part of Romania, except for a small section allocated to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes.

The county maintains a diverse population mix of Romanian, Hungarian, and German communities, each contributing to regional traditions and local customs.

The region contains substantial mineral resources, including lignite deposits, manganese reserves, basalt quarries, clay formations, crude oil fields, and natural gas reserves.

The Timiș River, from which the county derives its name, was known in Roman times as Tibisis, meaning marshy in the ancient Dacian language.
