Cenad (Hungarian: Csanád; Serbian: Чанад) is a commune in Timiș County, Banat, Romania. It is composed of a single village, Cenad. The village serves as a customs point on the border with Hungary.

History

Cenad was known until the 13th century as Morisena. The legionary camp of the Legio XIII Gemina was located there. In the Middle Ages, the site was a temporary capital for Avars and then for Huns. In 1028 or 1030, Chanadinus, a local pretender to Ahtum's duchy, rebelled against Ahtum and conquered the duchy with the help of Magyars.^[2]
