Sadagóra used to have special importance for the Hasidic Jewish community, due to the presence of a venerated rabbi (zaddik), Israel Friedmann, who moved there in 1842.

[edit] Trivia
During the Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army in Moldavia and Wallachia took measures to enhance the economic and monetary system in the principalities. Therefore, a mint was established in Sadagora by the adventurer baron Nicolaus Gartenberg ("Gartenberg" being a literal German translation of the Slavic Sadagóra, “garden mountain”). Beginning in 1771, the coins that were minted here displayed the coats of arms of both Moldavia and Wallachia on the same side.
