location

Vadu Izei is located about five kilometers southeast of the town of Sighetu Marmației at the confluence of the Mara River into the Iza .

history

The place was first mentioned in 1383. For several centuries it was part of the Maramures County and thus the Kingdom of Hungary . After the First World War he came to Romania.

population

Since the beginning of the official census in 1850, the community has been mostly inhabited by Romanians . Until the Second World War , Jews made up the largest minority (about 5–10 percent). The residents of Vadu Izei are now almost exclusively Romanians; a few describe themselves as Hungarians , Roma and Ukrainians . The same applies to Valea Stejarului, which was incorporated in 1843.

Vadu Izei is located on the national road ( drum național ) DN 18, which leads from Baia Mare to Iacobeni . The district road ( drum județean ) DJ 186 branches off in the village and leads into the valley of the Iza. Vadu Izei has good bus connections to Sighetu Marmației. The nearest train station is about 7 km northwest of the town on the Sighetu Marmației – Ivano-Frankivsk railway line . A narrow-gauge railway that had passed through Vadu Izei since the end of the 19th century was shut down around 1970.
