Summary/Abstract: The goal of this paper is to outline the changes of the Inner Szolnok Unitarian District and its congregations between 1571 and the fi rst part of the 17th century. The author analyzes the spatial unfolding of the changes, evaluating also the changes of the Transylvanian administrative districts. The paper uses a number of maps created using a Geographic Information System (GIS is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data) using data available from historical sources concerned with Unitarian history to show the changes. Th e paper examines 75 settlements (towns) mentioned in Unitarian sources. For 54 of these, there is evidence both 95 of their having Unitarian congregations in the 16th century, as well as for the length of time their congregation existed. For the each of the other 21 towns, there was either no evidence of a Unitarian congregation, or the there was no record of the duration of the existence of its Unitarian congregation.
