History

[edit]

In the 17th century, there was a village at the site that was inhabited by Hungarians,Transylvanian Saxons and Romanians.[1] Bulgarian gardeners settled there in the 18th century, drawn by the fertile soil which was suitable for growing vegetables. They named the region.[1]

By the early 20th century, it was known as "the vegetable garden of Cluj."[1] In addition to vegetables, Bulgarian settlers grew herbs, which they supplied to the markets of Cluj.
