The history of Agadici can be traced back to at least the 1600s, when records note a population of 800 souls. Today, there are fewer than 200 people living in Agadici. Agadici is a word derived from the Turkish language; Aga meaning ‘colonel’ and dici meaning ‘daughter of.’ Therefore, Agadici means, daughter of the colonel. The town was supposedly named after a colonel’s daughter when the Ottoman Empire was in occupation of the land that is now the Banat. Agadici was among 190 villages affected by the deportation to the Bărăgan Steppe in 1951.
