History
The first recorded mention of Racovița dates from 1447. In the Middle Ages it was called Rakovicza and belonged to Temesdoboz estates. After the expulsion of the Turks from Banat, it was inhabited by Romanians and became the property of the Aerarium. In the chamber records from 1717 it appears mentioned with 40 houses, belonging to Nagykövéres estates.
