In Serbian, the village is known as Vladimirovac or Владимировац; in Romanian as Pătrovăsâla or/also spelled "Petrovăsâla;" in German as Petersdorf; and in Hungarian as Petre.
Wells at street intersections in Vladimirovac date back from the first decade of the 19th century. As an example of the beginning of a modern organized water supply of the settlement, they are a protected cultural monument of great importance.[3]
The present Romanian Orthodox Church was built from 1859 to 1863, in the neoclassical style, with 63m tall tower that dominates the surrounding landscape.[4][5]
On 8 December 1894, a railway station for rail Vršac - Kovin was opened, and on 26 August 1896 the Pančevo rail opened as well.[6]
