Early Sfântu Gheorghe History

 Sfântu Gheorghe is one of the oldest cities in Transylvania, as settlement was first documented there in 1332.

The city's name is derived from the patron saint of a local church, Saint George. It was an economic and administrative center for the Hungarian county Háromszék, now Covasna and Braşov counties. In the second half of the 19th century, Sfântu Gheorghe developed both a textile and a cigarette factory. Sfântu Gheorghe is a center for the Szeklers in the cultural region known as Székelyföld, and is home to the Székely National Museum. The city hosts two market fairs each year.
