Corunca (Template:Langx, Hungarian pronunciation: [koronkɒ]) is a commune in Mureș County, Transylvania, Romania. The commune is composed of two villages: Bozeni (Székelybós) and Corunca. It became an independent commune when the component villages split from Livezeni in 2004.
Geography
The commune is situated on the Transylvanian Plateau, at altitude of Template:Cvt. It is located in the central part of Mureș County, Template:Cvt southeast of the county seat, Târgu Mureș, and part of the Târgu Mureș metropolitan area. Corunca is crossed by national road DN13 (part of European route E60), which starts in Târgu Mureș, continues to Sighișoara, Template:Cvt to the south, and ends in Brașov.
History
The area where the commune lies was inhabited even in ancient times. On the outskirts of the villages, remains were found from prehistoric and Roman times. The name of the present-day commune was first recorded in 1332 as Korunka.[1] In the vicinity, there used to be two other villages, Sárvári was destroyed in the 16th century while Kisernye was devastated in 1661 by Ottoman Turkish troops.
The village was historically part of the Székely Land in Transylvania and belonged to Marosszék in the Middle Ages. In the mid-1780s as part of the Josephine administrative reform, Marosszék was integrated into Küküllő County, however, the szék-system was restored in 1790. After the suppression of the Hungarian Revolution in 1849, the village formed part of the Székelykál military sub-division of the Marosvásárhely division in the Udvarhely military district.[2] Between 1861 and 1876, the former Marosszék was restored.[2][3] As a result of the administrative reform in 1876, the village fell within Maros-Torda County in the Kingdom of Hungary.[4]
In the aftermath of World War I, the Union of Transylvania with Romania was declared in December 1918. At the start of the Hungarian–Romanian War of 1918–1919, the locality passed under Romanian administration. It officially became part of the territory ceded to the Kingdom of Romania in June 1920 under the terms of the Treaty of Trianon, and fell within plasa Târgu Mureș in Mureș County during the interwar period. In August 1940, under the auspices of Nazi Germany, which imposed the Second Vienna Award, Hungary retook the territory of Northern Transylvania from Romania, and the villages became part again of Maros-Torda County. Towards the end of World War II, however, the area was taken back from Hungarian and German troops by Romanian and Soviet forces in September–October 1944. Between 1952 and 1960, the commune fell within the Magyar Autonomous Region, and between 1960 and 1968 the Mureș-Magyar Autonomous Region.[2] In 1968, the region was abolished when a new administrative law was adopted,[5] and the area became part of Mureș County.
