Summary/Abstract: The upper valley of Someşul Mare was a special "country" in the Middle Ages, it was a confederation of communities located in this valley. The villages incorporated in this confederation are, no doubt, older than the first documentary mention. If the information about towns, cities and fairs is quite numerous, the information about villages is quite rare, being mentioned by chance in connection with various privileges and feudal disputes and only in rare cases in connection with the public life of villages. Almost all the names of the villages that appear in different medieval documents mark only a certain date of the historical thread of the respective settlements and not their beginning, which in most cases is lost in the distant past.
