History
The first recorded mention of Ohaba Lungă dates from 1440.[4] In 1447 it belonged to Arad County and was the property of Miklós Bánffy.[5] Between 1597–1620 the commune comes into the successive possession of several noblemen, following royal donations (István Török, István Bethlen).[5] In the Turkish defters from the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century it is mentioned as Oláh-Ohaba or "Romanian Ohaba",[4] which proves the continuity of the Romanian character of the settlement. By 1890 it belongs to Bálinc District and has 357 inhabitants.[5]
