Aradului
Aradului is a district in northern Timișoara. Its name comes from the homonymous road that connects Timișoara to Arad. Calea Aradului divides the district into two: Aradului Vest and Aradului Est. The King [Michael I University of Life Sciences] is located in this district.
Until the late 19th century, the area was mostly vineyards known as Viile Fabric, producing up to 100 hectares of local wine consumed by Timișoara's well‑to‑do residents. In 1905, the first textile industry in Timișoara was built on Calea Aradului, with the aim of producing cotton spinning. During the communist era, it was called UTT, many of the employees coming from all over Romania receiving housing in the blocks that were built in the area.
