history

A more precise first registration of the place is not known. Some sources claim that Buceș was first mentioned in documents in 1439. According to reports by G. Téglás , P. Király , TP Ghiţulescu and others, the history of the settlement of the region goes back to Roman times due to the finds of gold mines and other archaeological finds on the area of ​​the incorporated village of Stănija ( Stannsdorf ) . The municipality of Buceş was the center of non-ferrous and precious metal ore mining.

Because of the gold deposits in the region, the population of the community was tortured to death by the Securitate in the 1950s for presumably illegal gold possession .

Ioan Cătălina from Stănija, the only authorized gold prospector in Romania, received the concession to prospect for gold in 2005 after six years of being overwhelmed by the authorities. Cătălina succeeds in finding around 30 grams of gold per year (2011).

population

In 1850, 3939 inhabitants lived in the area of ​​today's municipality. 3732 of them were Romanians and 207 were Roma . In 1910 the largest population was determined with 4838. The highest number of Romanians (4789) was registered in 1941, that of Roma in 1850, that of Hungarians (41) and that of Germans (21) in 1890. In addition, in 1890, 1900, 1910 and 1966 one resident each referred to himself as a Slovak . At the 2002 census, 2381 people lived in the municipality, 2251 of whom were Romanians, 129 Roma and one Hungarian.
