history

Mădăras was first mentioned in 1291 as "Madaraz". The village was founded at the end of the Árpáden period. The name comes from a royal bird watcher ("Madár" for bird). At the beginning of the 20th century, Mădăras belonged to the Salonta municipality. In Mădăras there are no street names, so every house is numbered, up to number 400. Thus the Strada Principală is given as the street name for the whole of Mădăras.
