Transport

Jamu Mare is now a railway terminus, but between 1925 and 1930, trains would pass through it all the way to Vršac in present-day Serbia. Train services to Gătaia and Buziaş are now operated by Regiotrans.

Four county roads run through the commune.

History

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1343, under the name "villa Zamer".

In 1717, the village Scham had 67 houses. At the end of the 18th century, Hungarian statistician Fényes Elek recorded that the village called Nagy Zsám had a population of 1,562, under the rule of the nobleman Ludovic Karácsony.

In 1786 the German colony Freudenthal was founded, at a distance of 4 km away from the current site of the village of Jamu Mare. During the 50 years following 1809, the Romanian population was expelled from the commune, so as to make room for the German families coming from Fibiş, Iecea and Grabaţ. In 1893 the German colony was included in the village of Jamu Mare.

From 1919 to 1924 the commune belonged to the Serbo-Croat Kingdom.

Demographics

In 2002, in the commune there were 2,894 Romanians, 240 Hungarians, 63 Germans, 73 Roma people and 54 people from other ethnic groups.

In 2009, the stable population count of the commune was 3095 persons.
