Ghiroda Nouă

Ghiroda Nouă (Hungarian: Újgiroda, also Erzsébetpuszta;[a] German: Neugiroda)[2] is a district of Timișoara, located in the eastern part of the city, north of the Bega Canal.

Originally called Colonia Crișan (Hungarian: Krizsántelep; German: Krischan Kolonie), it is located on the lands that, around 1750, were the rice fields of Timișoara.

[3] Today's district was established on 23 September 1932 by detaching Crișan, Bogdan, Ștrand-Gyürki, Cardoș, Schmidt-Szegedi, Șarta and Slavek from the commune of Ghiroda to form the rural commune of Ghiroda Nouă, following Decision no.

The new locality was part of the central plasă of the county and formed a notarial constituency with the commune of Ghiroda.

[4] In 1936, the localities of Ștrand-Gyürki, Cardoș, Schmidt-Szegedi, Șarta and Slavek separated from Ghiroda Nouă to form the locality of I. G. Duca (today Plopi).
