Novi Itebej

The first mention of Ittabé dates back to 1219. This is mentioned in the surviving documents of the only known ecclesiastical institution of Keve County at that time, the Benedictine provost in Ittebe. After its destruction in the 16^th century, Szerbittabé was established in 1780, and Magyarittabé in 1786, which was inhabited by Hungarian Calvinists from Békés County. Later, at the beginning of the 19^th century, Hungarian Catholics from around Szeged also came to the settlement. At that time, its landlord was Ernő Kiss, who would later become one of the 13 martyrs of Arad.
