history

The place Turdaş was first mentioned in 1332. The place founded by the Transylvanian Saxons was devastated by the Turkish invasions at the beginning of the 15th century , and then settled by Hungarian and Romanian populations.

However, the history of settlement in the region goes back much further. In the southwest of the town of Turdaș - called La Luncă by the locals - numerous archaeological finds from the Neolithic period were made over a length of about one and a half kilometers and 500 meters wide, between the Mureș and the railway line . The finds are now in Romanian museums as well as in museums in Budapest, Berlin, Vienna and Stockholm. Most of the settlement found on Mieresch was destroyed by erosion in the 20th century. The excavations in 1910 and 1934 could not give any conclusive results of the stratigraphy of the place.

Today the residents live mainly from agriculture and cattle breeding.
