The historic and archeological surveys
certify the existence of human activity in Mures area since the
early Neolithic, as well archeology testify a full continuity of
social-cultural structures for the old and ancient period.
The Roman Period will integrate Mures
and Tarnava Valley into a large state complex, (the Roman Empire),
strongly individualized in the ancient world. The fortified settlements
discovered in Tirgu Mures, Cristesti, Golesti, Sarateni, Sighisoara,
Ideciu de Sus, Brancovenesti, Iernut, Lechinta indicates the Roman
and Dac population, living together and the superior synthesis of
the two types of civilizations. The continuity of population in
this area is demonstrated also by the settlements in Sintana de
Mures (III-IV century), Cipau ( III-VIII century), Band (V-VII century),
Tirgu Mures (IV-VI century), Ludus (V-VI century), Valea Larga (VII
century), Sangeorgiu de Mures (X-XI century), Neagra (XI century).

Between
the X-XI centuries the territory is included into the political
formation led by Gelu Romanu and afterward Gyula's. After the second
half of the XI and the beginning of the XII centuries, the feudal
Hungarian kingdom stretches its domination in Transylvania.
Beginning with the XII century the
Hungarian feudal ship brought the Seclars in Transylvania, then
at the beginning of the XIII century the Germans. Afterward, they
will organize the Mure Seclar Chair(1409) and in Sighisoara the
Germans.

Since
1493, the first crafts were signaled in Tirgu Mures. Up to the half
of the XVI century, the city will record an ascendant course of
development, between 1601 and 1602 is remarkable the almost total
destruction of the settlement by the troupes of general Basta. Only
in 1658 we can talk about the rebuilding of the fortress.
In 1848 Tirgu Mures has crafts in
the fields of pharmacists, carpenters, tailors, locksmiths, shoemakers.
At the end of XVIII century the electric power plant, railroad,
furniture and timber plant, sugar and spirit plant are build. In

An
interesting evolution had Sighisoara. Since 1376 the first sign
of crafts are recorded, in 1378 there were 19 crafts. In 1843 on
of the first weaving mills in Transylvania was established in Sighisoara.
Sighisoara is the "Museum town"
being the only Medieval fortress entirely inhabited in Europe. The
fortress is surrounded by a wall that protects 150 houses, each
one being an unique archeological masterpiece.
The city is attested since 1280 under
the name Castrum rex. Under the clock tower there is the house I
which between 1431-1435 has lived Vlad Dracul, the son of Mircea
cel Batran and the father of Vlad Tepes.
