location
Erdeed is located in a hilly region in northwestern Romania. The district capital Satu Mare is about 15 km north.
history
The oldest archaeological finds in the region date from the Bronze Age .
Erdeed was first mentioned in a document in 1215 under the name Herdeud .
In 1378 the place became a regional administrative center. In 1481 a castle was built northwest of Erdeed. This soon lost its military importance and was converted into a castle from 1730. The castle fell into disrepair in the 19th century and was finally destroyed in World War II.
In the 18th century, like in other regions of Sathmar County, Germans - the Sathmar Swabians - settled in Erdeed .
