History<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Baia Mare has historically served as an important mining colony and archaeological research points to the fact that the gold and silver in this area had been intensely exploited even prior to the Roman conquest of Dacia. The first written attestation of the town of Baia Mare dates back to 1327 and 1329, when it was mentioned under the name of Rivulus Dominarum (River of the Ladies) in some documents issued by the office of King Charles I of Anjou. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Over the following centuries, due to the fact that royal policies came to support mining activities, Baia Mare enjoyed several rights and privileges, becoming one of the richest medieval towns in the area. Names have changed over time: from Rivulus Dominarum, to Nagybanya, Frauenbach, Neustadt. After 1541, Baia Mare is transferred under the administration of Transylvania\u2019s princes, and beginning with 1691, the town is incorporated into the \u201ePartium\u201d, a territory of the Hungarian Kingdom, until December-1<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>st<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>-1918 when Transylvania, including Maramures, is unified to Romania. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Between the two World Wars, Baia Mare goes through a period of extended political, economic and cultural growth. After the years spent under Horthyst occupation during the Second World War, on October-17<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>th<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>-1944 Baia Mare is declared a free town. In 1968, Baia Mare becomes seat city of Maramures district, a status it still retains.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
