history
Due to the nearby mining region around today's city of Abrud , which has been known since ancient times , there has been no independent historical research for Ciuruleasa. The region was given to a Hungarian nobleman named Gyula by the Hungarian King Emmerich in 1201 ; In 1276 she came to the Catholic diocese in Weißenburg .
The current district of Buninginea is first mentioned in 1589. In 1727 the inhabitants of the Cernița valley rose and occupied the town hall of Abrud. In 1784 the rebels around Horea ( Vasile Ursu Nicola ), Cloşca ( Ion Oargă ) and Crişan ( Marcu Giurgiu ) held camp here before attacking Abrud. During the Romanian Revolution of 1848 there was fighting between the troops of Avram Iancu and units of the Hungarian Revolutionary Army .
Ciuruleasa is only recorded in 1850 under Csiurul Karcza and in 1854 under Csuruliasa . Until 1950 Ciuruleasa was administered by Abrud-Sat ( Abruden ) - today a village in the small town of Abrud - and has been a municipality since then.
