Bara (Hungarian: Barafalva; German: Barr) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of five villages: Bara (commune seat), Dobrești, Lăpușnic, Rădmănești and Spata. Bara is located in the northeast of Timiș County, in a hilly area, 70 km (43 mi) from Timișoara and 30 km (19 mi) from Lugoj.

History

The first recorded mention of Bara dates from 1367.^[4] The name Bara is of Slavic origin and, in medieval documents, is associated with the description "terra acquosa", meaning a marshy land. In 1440 Bara is taken from the prefect of Timiș by King Vladislav I and given to the Șoimoș Fortress.^[5] By 1477 it was the property of the prefect of Pozsony, Miklós Bánffy.^[5] Under the Turks it was destroyed and re-established in 1690–1700. In 1879 Bara was bought by Pavel Teodorescu and Constantin Florea.^[5] The village was Romanian and remained mostly Romanian during the Austro-Hungarian rule.^[5]

All the villages in the commune were massively depopulated after World War II. Spata, for instance, became a ghost village in 1997 with the death of the last native. However, the settlement was repopulated by several families of Transylvanian shepherds.^[5]
