The first recorded mention of Coșteiu dates from 1597.[1] The settlement was formed around a medieval castle known as Kastély,[2] from which its name is derived (in Hungarian kastély means "castle").[3] On the Josephinische Landesaufnahme of 1717, it was listed under the name Gustik. Today's village was formed by merging three hamlets after 1945: Coșteiu Mare (Template:Langx), Coșteiu Mic (Template:Langx) and Sâlha (Template:Langx).[4]
The Bega Canal played an important role in the history of Coșteiu. Work on the canal began in 1728. To regularize Bega, Dutch engineer Template:Ill built a dam near Coșteiu between 1759 and 1760.[5] It was rebuilt in 1860 after the catastrophic floods of the previous year.[6]
