In the year 1718, after 164 years of Turkish occupation the Banat area was put under austrian rule by the peace-treaty of Passarowitz. After that german colonists were settled during three periods, the so-called "Schwabenzuege".

Carlottenburg, like all villages in the municipality of Bogda (germ. Neuhof), was built in 1771 during the second (1763-1772) period.
They were built by the will of the Earl of Clary and Altringen, who was appointed President of the Banat in 1769. The construction works went on under supervision of Carl Samuel Neumann Edler of Bucholt, an civil servant of the "Landesadministration". 30 [Petri] or 32 [Griselini] families were settled there. 67 of the colonists came from the region east of Trient, 12 from Lothringen, 10 from Baden-Württemberg, 8 from Hungary, 7 from Rheinland and Rheinpfalz, 6 from Austria, 3 from Bavaria and individoals from other regions.
The village was named after Charlotte, the wife of the President [Griselini, Petri]. The name Barita [Toroc] is not historically documented.
