History

The first recorded mention of Bujor dates from 1364. The locality had a high importance in the Middle Ages, being the center of a Vlach district. In 1453 this district had a knyaz, Dionysius, and was donated by King Ladislaus V to John Hunyadi. In 1596 the Bujor District was part of Hunyad County. Within its borders there was at that time the village of Baia, and a little further the village of Chitești, both disappeared. In the past, the center of the village was in the Gladna Valley, on the place called Satul Mic ("Little Village"). Due to the frequent floods, in 1823 the village was moved to its present place, protected from floods. The earliest recorded mention of Jupani dates back to 1446, in a Hungarian charter through which John Hunyadi ceded the Bujor District—including Jupani—in exchange for the fortresses of Șoimoș and Lipova. However, the settlement may be older, as its name derives from jupâni and evokes the residences of Romanian-Slavic rulers dating back to the 9th century. During the Middle Ages, there were two separate villages: Jupanii de Sus ("Upper Jupani") and Jupanii de Jos ("Lower Jupani"), which eventually merged into one. A Hungarian charter from 1470 confirms that the village was inhabited by Vlachs (Romanians). The settlement persisted through the period of Ottoman occupation, as noted in the writings of Marsigli between 1690 and 1700. It retained its Romanian identity throughout the Habsburg era, even during the colonization of the Banat region. The Orthodox church was constructed in 1888. The earliest recorded mention of Săceni dates back to 1596, when Voivode Sigismund Báthory granted the settlement to István Jósika. The earliest recorded mention of Susani dates back to 1598. It is referenced in Marsigli's writings from 1690 to 1700.…
