Topolovățu Mare (Hungarian: Nagytopoly; German: Großtoplowetz; Serbian: Велики Тополовац, romanized: Veliki Topolovac) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.
[4] The same source supports the hypothesis that the village moved to the nearby hill and took the name Kustelek (the toponym still exists today), which appears in a deed of donation of Sigismund Báthory in 1597.
[5] After the expulsion of the Turks from Banat, the Austrians found the village of Topolovac with 40 houses on the current site.
When it was found that navigation on the canal was negatively affected by the oscillation of water flow, Dutch engineer Maximilian Emmanuel Fremaut [de], who designed the Bega Canal, proposed the construction of technical nodes to be located at Topolovăț and Coștei, in order to connect Timiș and Bega and to allow the transfer of water between the two rivers.
In fact, its inhabitants were also Romanians from Topolovățu Mare, as evidenced by ethnographic research, by the very close family ties that exist today and the cultural similarities.
