The
"French" colonization of the
Banat started about 1748
with emigration from
Lorraine and
the territories bordering on
it. The settlers from Lorraine that established
Neu-Beschenowa in the summer
of 1748 had to complete a
military training ordered by
Maria Theresia, so that they
would be able to serve as
soldiers in case of war.
By 1750 the villages St.
Andreas and St. Martin had
been established. In
an initial massive effort, both French and
German-speaking Lorrainers
settled St. Andreas.
