Seven Villages

The Seven Villages was a district of Brassó County in the Kingdom of Hungary. Today, all seven villages are part of Romania. Four of them are now part of the city of Săcele, while the other three belong to the commune of Tărlungeni. The seat of the district was at Satulung. The four settlements now in Săcele are first mentioned in a privilege letter of Louis I of Hungary from 1366.
During the 1930s, the local press published a number of articles detailing the complex but peaceful relations between the three ethnic groups that lived in the Seven Villages: Romanian Mocani shepherds and Hungarian Csángós and Székelys.
