Regional History:
Jimbolia was colonized in 1766 by German-speaking settlers (Danube Swabians) who named their new community Hatzfeld.[2] Later, this community was also identified as Zombolya.
Hatzfeld/Zombolya came under Serbian military rule on Nov. 17, 1918.[3] As a result of the Treaty of Trianon, Hatzfeld/Zombolya came within the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes as of July 4, 1920. As the result of an adjustment in the border between Romania and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, it became part of Romania with the name Jimbolia on April 9, 1924.
