Zimand puszta

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Puszta or praedium, uninhabitted area in Arad county, Romania, first mentioned in documents in 1743. In 1852 and then in 1853 it was settled with farmers coming from Csernovics Ujfalu puszta and Bánkút puszta, respectively, both places now in SE Hungary). As a result, two new villages were formed: first Zimand Ujfalu (Zimandu Nou) in 1852 and in 1853 Zimandköz (first called Bánkút-Zimand, later renamed Zimand-Bánkút, then Zimandköz and today Zimandköz/Zimandcuz).
