History
History
• Illustration — Before the first Hungarian stamps, cancelled 1867-1871 The first mention in documents of the locality dates back to 1202-1203, when it was known as villa Pankota. It remained under Hungarian rule until 1565, when it was conquered by Ottoman forces. By the end of the same year, the Sanjak of Pâncota was created, within the Eyalet of Temeşvar. The centre of the town was ravaged by invaders several times. The Ottoman Turks captured the town repeatedly. In 1687 it passed under the administration of the Habsburg empire, as confirmed by the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699. Until 1918, Pâncota was part of the Austrian monarchy, province of Hungary; in Transleithania after the compromise of 1867 in the Kingdom of Hungary. The post-office was opened in 1855. The Treaty of Trianon of 1920 attributed the Arad region to Romania (the Great Romanian Union).
