She gave up a piece of land she owned to relocate the locality. Victor Vlad Delamarina was part of Krassó-Szörény County, Lugoj District, in 1890, as a commune seat with 616 inhabitants. On the occasion of the territorial reorganization in 1968, the locality was named Victor Vlad Delamarina, in memory of the first dialectal poet of Romania, born here in 1870.[4]
