It borders Bara to the north, Coșteiu to the south, Belinț and Ghizela to the west and Bethausen to the east.

[3] The first recorded mention of Balinț dates from 1488, when Count Ferenc Haraszti donates the Felső-Bályncz estate to his daughter.

In 1604, around Balinț, there are battles between the troops of George I Rákóczi and the rebels of Stephen Bocskai (future Prince of Transylvania) and Gabriel Bethlen.

In 1739 Austrian troops retaliated against the villagers who supported the Turks during the Austro-Turkish War of 1737–1739 and took part in the uprising.

[3] At the end of the 19th century, Balinț was the seat of the Béga District of the Krassó-Szörény County; it was a small village with Romanian, German and Hungarian inhabitants and had a post and telegraph office, as well as a sawmill.

[4] Bodo (Hungarian: Nagybodófalva; German: Boddau) seems to have existed since at least the 14th century, mentioned by the name Bodov in 1344.

The first recorded mention of Târgoviște (Hungarian: Vásáros; German: Tergowest) dates from 1690 in Marsigli's notes.
