Plopi, Timișoara
Coordinates: 45°44′31.14″N 21°16′10.66″E / 45.7419833°N 21.2696278°E Plopi (Hungarian: Kardostelep; German: Kardos-Kolonie), formerly known as I. G. Duca,[1] is a district of Timișoara, Romania. Before becoming a district of Timișoara, it was an independent settlement. It was annexed to Timișoara together with Ghiroda Nouă in 1949.[2]
History[]
Most of the land was owned, before 1918, by the widow of Count László Gyürky, née Malva Klaritz. She apportioned the land for a fee to those who wanted it, her name appearing in the land register of Ghiroda commune until the 2000s.[3] Around 1930, the district was named I. G. Duca, after Romanian prime minister Ion G. Duca; later, at the suggestion of sculptor Romulus Ladea, who lived here around 1940, it was renamed Plopi.[4]
