History
The first signs of human activity found in the city belong to the Paleolithic period . This historical period includes archaeological finds found in the city, in the form of primitive tools.
In the fifteenth century, during the Middle Ages, Ocelu Roshu was mentioned under the name "Bistra", and later under the Hungarian name "Nándorhegy". After the expulsion of the Turks from Banat , the area was colonized by the Germans. Later, when Transylvania became part of Romania, the name "Nándorhegy" was replaced by "Ferdinand".
In 1947, the name "Ferdinand" did not like the government of the Socialist Republic of Romania . It was soon replaced by the current one. The name Ocelul Roshu (Red Steel) underlines the importance of the metal industry for the city.

According to the 2012 census, 9,260 people (184 people / km²) live in the city.
