Ghiroda (Hungarian: Győröd; German: Altgiroda, as opposed to Neugiroda, now a district of Timișoara) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

The oldest traces of habitation discovered on the current administrative territory of Ghiroda date from the Eneolithic.

Here were highlighted fragments of pottery attributed to the Gornești–Bodrogkeresztúr culture, which attest to an important habitation, in a settlement probably arranged on an island surrounded by water.

Between Ghiroda and Remetea Mare existed in the Middle Ages and at the beginning of the Habsburg period the village of Deg, now extinct.

In 1931, Ghiroda was a commune and included the Romanian villages of Crișan and Sever Bocu; later, they became part of the hearth of the locality.

The history of Giarmata-Vii is closely related to the neighboring locality Giarmata, to which it belonged and whose inhabitants contributed to the establishment of the new settlement.

The Timișoara administration owned several uncultivated lands in the vicinity of the city, which it decided to put up for sale.

The memorandum was approved by the first praetor of Plasa Timișoara, Mihai Grivei, who decided to establish a rural commune called Viișoara.
