45°46′36.5″N 21°12′19.96″E / 45.776806°N 21.2055444°E / 45.776806; 21.2055444 Aradului is a district in northern Timișoara.[1] Its name comes from the homonymous road (Calea Aradului) that connects Timișoara to Arad.[2] Calea Aradului divides the district into two: Aradului Vest and Aradului Est. The King Michael I University of Life Sciences is located in this district.

In 1905, the first textile industry in Timișoara was built on Calea Aradului, with the aim of producing cotton spinning. During the communist era, it was called UTT (Timișoara Textile Factories), many of the employees coming from all over Romania receiving housing in the blocks that were built in the area.[3]
