[5] The nearest settlement is Kübekháza in Hungary, about 1.5 km (0.93 mi) away, to which Beba Veche was connected in the past by a direct road.

Beba Veche is dominated by a moderate continental climate with Mediterranean influences from the Adriatic Sea and Mediterranean Sea due to the fact that it is protected by the Carpathians that prevent cold air from northeast and allow hot air from southwest and west.

[5] The mean multiannual amount of precipitation is 536.5 mm (21.12 in), with the most abundant precipitation in May and June (23–25% of the mean annual amount); rainfall oscillations are rather high from one year to another (with a limit of 250 mm (9.8 in)); crops are stressed by excess moisture particularly during the first part of vegetation, while during the latter vegetation period (after August) humidity is insufficient.

Archaeological discoveries have led Swabian historiographer Felix Milleker to conclude that it dates back to the Stone Age.

[7] Historian Nicolae Ilieșiu [ro] claims that until the 5th century, it was called Vitoliu, after the name of the Roman emperor Vitellius.

[7] The first document attesting Beba Veche dates from 1247, during the reign of Béla IV of Hungary.

[6] In 1773, the Csanád ministry settled two villages on the site of the old locality: Kisbéba, where it invited Hungarian tobacco growers from Szeged area and Óbéba, which it handed over to Romanian-speaking settlers.

Among other things, the loss of the cultural identity of the Romanians in the commune was sought, by imposing the Hungarianization of the name and surname.

[5] In 2007, in the commune of Beba Veche, there were 14 firms with a turnover of 2,401,875 lei, indicating a low degree of economic development.
