List of Székely settlements

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Following is a list^[1] of Székely settlements. The list contains the municipalities belonging to the Székely Seats in the 19th century, before the administrative reform in Hungary. The Seats were the traditional self-governing territorial units of the Transylvanian Székely estate during medieval times. (Saxons were also organised in Seats.)

"Szék" in Hungarian means "Seat" or "Chair" - one explanation of the meaning of word "Székely" is "a person belonging to the Seat". The Seats were not part of the traditional Hungarian county system, and their inhabitants enjoyed a higher level of freedom (especially until the the 16th century) than those living in the counties.
