In 1783 it appeared as Bassosch (Suciu, DILT, I, p. 59), while the Hungarian administration names were Bazuss (Nagy, I, p. 374) and Bázos (1851 and 1913). Korabinski said that Basos or Bazos is a valah settlement where population breeds cattle, raise bees and make wheels for charriot. In the middle 19th century about 40 Hungarian families were colonized here. Bazoşu Nou (German Neu Basosch, Hungarian Új Bázos) was built in 1854 (Suciu, DILT, I, p. 59) and was a Romanian village.
