== History == thumb|left|Bărăteaz (Barathias) and Satchinez (Knees) on the Josephinian Land Survey|Josephinische Landesaufnahme of 1769–1772 The first recorded mention of Satchinez dates from 1230, when it was mentioned as Kenaz. On the papal tithe lists of 1333 it appears with the name Kenes and belonged to Csanád County. The medieval history of the locality is marked by the personality of Pál Kinizsi, who consolidated the fortress here and stood out in the anti-Ottoman struggle. All that is left of Pál Kinizsi's fortress today is a mound shaped like a truncated cone, with a radius of about and a height of , called Gomila by the locals. In 1786 the locality was colonized by Germans, but the Romanians remain the majority.
