Geographical location

Location of the municipality of Câăcău in the Cluj district

The municipality of Câțcău is located north of the river Someș (Somesch) in the southern foothills of the Dealurile Ciceulu , in the northwest of the Transylvanian Basin in the north of the Cluj district. The community center is located on Drum național 1C (here also European route 58 ) and the Dej – Jibou railway line ten kilometers northeast of the city of Dej (Deesch) and about 65 kilometers from the district capital of Cluj-Napoca (Klausenburg) .

history

The place Câțcău was first mentioned in 1348. Around 1750, Hungarian freelance farmers and petty aristocrats founded the Reformed parish in the village . According to E. Orosz, archaeological finds on the area of the town of Câ Muncău or the incorporated town of Muncel (Hungarian Kishavas ) near Moara lui Drăgan and Fântânele point back to the Bronze or Neolithic Age .

According to the Romanian Ministry of Culture, on the area of the incorporated village of Muncel, called Muchia Poienii Lupului and Muncelul Sălișcăi by the locals , there is a fortified settlement that has not yet been historically interpreted.

In the Kingdom of Hungary , today's municipality belonged to the Dés chair district in the Szolnok-Doboka County , then to the historical Someș district and, from 1950, to today's Cluj district.
