Hunedoara County ({{#invoke:IPA|main}}) is a county (județ) of Romania, in Transylvania, with its capital city at Deva. The county is part of the Danube–Criș–Mureș–Tisa Euroregion.
NameEdit
In Hungarian, it is known as {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, in German as {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}, and in Slovak as {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}. The county got its name from the city of Hunedoara (Template:Langx), which is the Romanian transliteration of the Hungarian {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} (Template:Literal translation, archaic: {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}), old name of the municipality. That most likely originated from the Hungarian {{#invoke:Lang|lang}} verb meaning 'to close' or 'to die', but may also come from wear the name of the Huns, who were headquartered near for a time and were the first to establish solid rule over the land since the Dacians.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
GeographyEdit
Template:Romanian counties map This county has a total area of 7,063 km2.
Mainly, the relief is made up of mountains, divided by the Mureș River valley which crosses the county from East to West. To the North side there are the Apuseni Mountains and to the South side there are mountains from the Southern Carpathians group, Parâng Mountains group and Retezat-Godeanu Mountains group: Orastie and Surianu Mountains (South-East), Retezat Mountains (South), Poiana Ruscai Mountains (South-West).
Except from the Mureș River with its tributaries Strei, Râul Mare and Cerna which forms wide valleys, in the North side Crișul Alb River also forms a valley in the Apuseni Mountains - Zarand region. In the South side along the Jiu River with its two branches Jiul de Vest and Jiul de Est, there is a large depression, and an accessible route towards Southern Romania - Oltenia..
NeighboursEdit
- Alba County in the East and North.
- Arad County, Timiș County and Caraș-Severin County in the West.
- Gorj County in the South.
EconomyEdit
Hunedoara County was one of the most industrialised areas during the communist period, and was very negatively affected when the industry collapsed after the fall of the communist regime.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The industry in the Hunedoara county is linked with the mining activity in the region. In the mountains, from ancient times, metals and coal have been exploited.
Energy-related enterprises are located in the county - one of the biggest thermoelectric plant is located at Mintia.
The Jiu Valley, located in the south of the country, has been a major mining area throughout the second half of the 19th century and the 20th century, but many mines were closed down in the years following the collapse of the communist regime.
The city of Hunedoara has also suffered significantly from the 1990s onwards - under communism it contained the largest steel works in Romania (until Galați took the lead), but activity gradually diminished after the fall of communism due to the loss of the market. This was a blow to the overall prosperity of the town, which is now recovering through new investments.
Agricultural activities also take place in Hunedoara county, which include livestock raising, and fruit and cereal cultivation. The county also has touristic potential, especially through the Dacian Fortresses of the Orăștie Mountains and the Corvin Castle.
The predominant industries in the county are:
- Metallurgy.
- Construction materials.
- Textile industry.
- Mining equipment.
- Food industry.
In the 1990s, a large number of mines were closed down, leaving Hunedoara county with the highest unemployment rate in Romania, of 9.6%, in comparison to the national average of 5.5%.
TourismEdit
Retezat National Park and other picturesque regions makes it one of the most beautiful counties in Romania. Also there can be found Dacian and Roman complexes in the Orăştie Mountains.
The main tourist attractions in the county are:
- The Dacian Fortresses of the Orăștie Mountains - nowadays part of UNESCO World Heritage.
- Colonia Augusta Ulpia Traiana Dacica Sarmizegetusa - the capital of the Roman province of Dacia.
- The medieval edifices of Densuș, Deva, Hunedoara, Santămaria-Orlea, Strei.
- The Medieval Castle from Hunedoara
- The Medieval Guard Tower from Crivadia
- The Via Transilvanica long-distance hiking and biking trail, which crosses the county
DemographicsEdit
According to the 2021 census, the county had a population of 361,657 and the population density was Template:Pop density.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The population of Hunedoara county is the second eldest of all Romanian counties, with an average age of the residents of 45.5 years, only behind Teleorman County (46.3 years).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Hunedoara's Jiu River Valley is traditionally a coal-mining region, and its high level of industrialisation drew many people from other regions of Romania in the period before the fall of the communist regime.
