It is composed of nine villages: Ciula (Gyulaszeg), Cuciulat (Kocsoládfalva), Cozla (Kecskés), Letca, Lemniu (Lemény), Purcăreț (Pórkerec), Șoimușeni (Kővársolymos), Toplița (Szamoshéviz) and Vălișoara (Dióspatak).
Villages
[edit | edit source]Purcăreț village had 139 inhabitants at the 2002 census. It is located on the right bank of the Someș River, and borders Maramureș County. It is first attested in a document of 1543, referred to as Porkerecz. Other documents refer to it as Porkoricza (1553), Pwrkerecz, Purkerech (1566), Purkeritz (1733), Porkeresty (1750), Purkeretz (1760-1762), Purkuretz (1830), Purkuretzi (1850), Purkerecz, Purcureți (1854), and finally Purcăreț (1966).[2] The noble family Lazăr of Purcăreț originates from this village.[3] The Wooden Church from Purcăreț is traditionally dated from 1698, although the Culture Ministry cites 1740 and researcher Ioana Cristache-Panait says it is from the first half of the 19th century.[citation needed]
