Template:Infobox Romanian subdivision Cenei (Template:Langx; Template:Langx; Template:Langx; Template:Langx) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

History
Cenei is one of the oldest settlements in Banat, first recorded in 1221 as a property of the archdiocese of Ittebe, today in Serbian Banat. By 1330 it belonged to the Sărad Fortress. Cenei was the site of a battle between the Turkish and Austrian troops on 20 August 1696.[1]
As of 1720, the natives were mostly Romanians and Serbs. Through the efforts of the Vuketići family, Cenei was colonized with Croats between 1801 and 1820.[2] German settlers arrived here only after 1848,[2] much later than other nearby settlements. The Hungarian population did not settle here in waves of colonists, but gradually, over a long period of time. Today's village was formed by merging Ceneiu Sârbesc ("Serbian Cenei"; Template:Langx) and Ceneiu Croat ("Croatian Cenei"; Template:Langx) in 1902.[2]
