Dumbrăvița (Hungarian: Újszentes, until 1906 Vadászerdő; German: Neusentesch; formerly Uisenteș and Sintești)[4] is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

[5] Mild winters and hot summers benefit the area, providing good conditions for early agricultural work.

[5] Spontaneous fauna is represented by hares, wild boars, foxes, voles, hamsters and birds such as quails and pheasants.

[5] Dumbrăvița was founded in 1891 by the colonization of 133 Hungarian families from Szentes, a town 50 km (31 mi) from Szeged.

[9] However, the territory occupied today by Dumbrăvița has been inhabited since the Daco-Roman era, here being discovered five houses and three household pits dating from the 2nd–3rd centuries AD.

[10] The new settlement founded in 1891 was called Vadászerdő; it is the translation from German into Hungarian of the compound word Jagdwald, which meant "hunting forest", the current Green Forest, used by Count Claude Florimond de Mercy, Austrian governor of Banat, after the conquest of the province by the Habsburgs.

[7] Very few at the beginning, Romanians started to settle in Dumbrăvița in greater numbers after the union of Banat with Romania.

Thus, in 1921–1922, several families from Rusko Selo and Torak, from Serbian Banat and a few others from Comloșu Mare settled in Dumbrăvița.

Trade is the subsector that has known the widest entrepreneurial dynamics, so that, currently, over 35% of the companies in Dumbrăvița are active in this field.
