In Serbian, the village is known as Пландиште or Plandište, in Romanian as Plandişte, in Hungarian as Zichyfalva, and in German as Zichydorf.
The name of the village derived from the word "plandovati" used in the local Serbian dialect, which in modern standard Serbian means "odmarati", and in English means "rest".
First data about this settlement is from the second half of the 17th century when it was mentioned under name "Morminta". In this time, settlement was populated by Serbs.

Before World War I, settlement was part of Banlok municipality, and later it was part of Vršac municipality. During 1950s, Plandište became administrative seat of its own municipality.
