In the area of ​​the incorporated town of Hăpria , called Vadul Bălgradului by the locals , remains of dwellings from the Roman era were found and in the area of ​​the town of Teleac , known by the locals as Grușeț - Hârburi , finds were made which were assigned to the Hallstatt period. Since 1987 - the beginning of the mining of bentonite - the archaeological finds have been brought to the National Museum of Alba Iulia. More than 80% of the archaeological site was destroyed by the work on the mining site.
