Geographical location

Location of the Corunca municipality in Mureș County

The municipality of Corunca is located in the Mureș Valley in the Transylvanian Basin north of the Kokel Highlands (Podișul Târnavelor) . In the center of the Mureş district on the Pocloş brook , a left tributary of the Mureş (Mieresch) and the national road DN 13 - a section of the European route 60 - is the place Corunca four kilometers southeast of the district capital Târgu Mureş (Neumarkt am Mieresch) .

history

The place Corunca, a Szekler village , was first mentioned in a document in 1332. In the Middle Ages, the place belonged to the Hungarian noble Mihályi family and from the 17th to the 19th century the Tholdalagi family . One of the landowners at the time was murdered in Sighișoara (Schäßburg) in 1660 .

In the register of historical monuments of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage (Ministerul Culturii și Patrimoniului Național) , next to the village of Corunca, near the drilling tower for gas extraction, a settlement of the area in the Latène period is noted.

Archaeological objects on the area called Comori (Hungarian Kincses ) and Ernea mică (Kisernye) of the incorporated village of Bozeni (Boschen) have not yet been assigned to an era.

At the time of the Kingdom of Hungary , today's municipality belonged to the Maros alsó ("Unter-Maros") district in the Maros-Torda County, then to the historical Mureș County and, from 1950, to the present Mureș County.

Until 1968 the two villages Corunca and Bozeni formed an independent municipality. They were then integrated into the Livezeni community and from 2004 they became an independent community again.
