The old Carastelec placed on the Hangas hill was destroyed by the Tartars. The survivors settled on a secondary valley of stream Carastelec. At the end of XIX century a new wave of emigration starts from Hungaria to United States, which was felt even in Carastelec too. In 1913 the wave reached a maximum, the majority of emigrants settled in Chicago. The entire locality is catholic, the reformed religion didn't manage to reach the performances from other localities.
