The village is located in the Bărăgan, in the Siman Valley (Valea lui Siman). Initially, the settlement was named Valea lui Siman, and, later, Principesa Elena (after Princess Elena of Romania). In 1948, after the onset of the Communist regime, the village was renamed to Gheorghe Doja, after György Dózsa.
