The water network around Satu Mare is composed of

the Someș River, Pârâul Sar in the north and the Homorod River in the south. The formation and
evolution of the city was closely related to the Someș River, which, in addition to allowing for the
settlement of a human community around it, has offered, since the early Middle Ages, the possibility of
international trade with coastal regions, a practice that favored milling, fishing and other economic
activities.[3]
Because the land slopes gently around the city, the Someș River has created numerous branches and
meanders (before 1777, in the perimeter of the city there were 25 meanders downstream and 14
upstream). After systematisation works in 1777, the number of meanders in the city dropped to 9
downstream and 5 upstream, the total length of the river now being at 36.5 km (22.7 mi) within the city.
Systematisation performed up to the mid-19th century configured the existing Someș riverbed;
embankments were built 17.3 km (10.7 mi) long on the right bank and 11 km (6.8 mi) on the left. In 1970,
the embankments were raised by 2 m (6.6 ft)–3 m (9.8 ft), protecting 52,000 hectares within the city
limits and restoring nearly 800 ha of agricultural land that had previously been flooded.[3]
Flora and fauna
The flora associated with the town of Satu Mare is characteristic for the meadow area with trees of soft
essence like wicker, indigenous poplar, maple and hazelnut. Grassland vegetation is represented by
Agrostis stolonifera, Poa trivialis, Alopecurus pratensis and other types of vegetation.[3]
The city's largest park, the Garden of Rome, features some rare trees that are uncommon to the area,
including the pagoda tree, native to East Asia (especially China); Pterocarya, also native to Asia; and
Paulownia tomentosa, native to central and western China.[3]
Fauna is represented by species of rodents (hamster and european ground squirrel), reptiles, including
Vipera berus in the Noroieni forest, and as avifauna species of ducks, geese, egrets, during passages and
systematic occasional wanderings.[3]
Climate
Satu Mare has a continental climate, characterised by hot dry summers and cold winters. As the city is in
the far north of the country, winter is much colder than the national average, with minimum
temperatures reaching −17 °C (1 °F), lower than values recorded in other cities in western Romania like
Oradea (−15 °C (5 °F)) or Timișoara (−17 °C (1 °F)). The average annual temperature is 9.6 °C (49 °F), or
broken down by seasons: Spring 10.2 °C (50 °F), summer 19.6 °C (67 °F), autumn 10.8 °C (51 °F) and
winter 1.7 °C (35 °F).[3] Atmospheric humidity is quite high. Prevailing wind currents blow in from the
northwest, bringing spring and summer rainfall. Climate in this area has mild differences between highs
and lows, and there is adequate rainfall year-round. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this
climate is "Cfb" (Marine West Coast Climate/Oceanic climate).[4]

Name
The Hungarian name of the town Szatmár is believed to come from the personal name Zotmar, as the
13th-century Gesta Hungarorum gives the name of the 10th-century fortified settlement at the site of
today's Satu Mare as castrum Zotmar ("Zotmar's fort").[6] Until 1925, in Romanian, the name Sătmar
was used, which is the Hungarian name transcribed to Romanian orthography. Since 1925, the name of
the town in Romanian is officially Satu Mare, which is similar in pronunciation to the original name,
and, by popular etymology, conveys meaning in Romanian, namely "great village".[7]
History
Archaeological evidence from Țara Oașului, Ardud, Medieșu Aurit,
Homoroade, etc. clearly shows settlements in the area dating to the
Stone Age and the Bronze Age. There is also evidence that the local
Dacian population remained there after the Roman conquest in
101/106 AD. Later, these lands may have formed part of
Menumorut's holdings; one of the important defensive fortresses –
castrum Zotmar, dating to the 10th century – was at Satu Mare, as
mentioned in the Gesta Hungarorum. After Stephen I of Hungary
created the Kingdom of Hungary in the year 1000, German colonists
were settled at the periphery of the city (Villa Zotmar), brought in Kossuth Park, 1903
by Stephen's wife, the Bavarian princess Gisela of Hungary. Later,
they were joined by more German colonists from beyond the Someș
River, in Mintiu.[8]
A royal free city since the 13th century, Satu Mare changed hands several times in the 15th century until
the Báthory family took possession of the citadel in 1526,[9] proceeding to divert the Someș's waters in
order to defend the southern part of the citadel; thus, the fortress remained on an island linked to the
main roads by three bridges over the Someș. In 1562 the citadel was besieged by Ottoman armies led by
Pargalı İbrahim Pasha of Buda and Maleoci Pasha of Timișoara. Then the Habsburgs besieged it, leading
the fleeing Transylvanian armies to set it on fire. The Austrian general Lazar Schwendi ordered the
citadel to be rebuilt after the plans of Italian architect Ottavio Baldigara; using an Italian system of
fortifications, the new structure would be pentagonal with five towers.[8] After a period when it changed
hands, the town came under Ottoman control in 1661. Called Sokmar by the new authorities, it was a
kaza center within the Şenköy sanjak of Varat Eyalet. This status held until 1691, when the army of the
Habsburgs expelled the Ottomans during the Great Turkish War.[10] In the Middle Ages, Satu Mare and
Mintiu were two distinct entities.[8] The two settlements, then called "Szatmár" and "Németi", were
united in 1715, and the resulting city was named "Szatmár-

Németi".[11][12] On 2 January 1721, Emperor Charles VI recognised
the union, at the same time granting Satu Mare the status of royal
free city.[8] A decade earlier, the Treaty of Szatmár was signed in the
city, ending Rákóczi's War for Independence.[13]
The city's importance was linked to the transportation and

commerce of salt from nearby Ocna Dejului (Hungarian: Désakna,
German: Salzdorf), possibly already at a very early date.[6] Due to
the economic and commercial benefits it began to receive in the 13th
century, Satu Mare became an important centre for craft guilds. In
the 18th century, intense urbanisation began; several buildings
survive from that period, including the old city hall, the inn, a
barracks, the Greek Catholic church and the Reformed church. A
Roman Catholic diocese was established there in 1804. In 1823, the
city's systematization commission was established in order to direct
its local government. In 1844, paving operations begun in 1805 were
stepped up. The first industrial concerns also opened, including the
steam mill, the brick factory, the Neuschloss Factory for wood Firemen's Tower, built 1904
products, the lumber factory, the Princz Factory and the Unio
Factory. Due to its location at the intersection of commercial roads,
Szatmárnémeti became and important rail hub. The Szatmárnémeti–Nagykároly (Carei) line was built in
1871, followed in 1872 by the Szatmárnémeti–Máramarossziget (Sighetu Marmaţiei) line, an 1894 link to
Nagybánya (Baia Mare), 1900 to Erdőd (Ardud) and 1906 to Bikszád (Bixad).[8]
Since the second half of the 19th century, it underwent important economic and socio-cultural changes.
The city's large companies (the Unio wagon factory, the Princz Factory, the Ardeleana textile enterprise,
the Freund petroleum refinery, the brick factory and the furniture factory) prospered in this period, and
the city invested heavily in communication lines, schools, hospitals, public works and public parks. The
banking and commerce system also developed: in 1929 the chamber of commerce and industry, as well
as the commodities stock market were established, with 25 commercial enterprises and 75 industrial and
production firms as members. In 1930 there were 33 banks.[8]
After the collapse of Austria-Hungary, Romanian troops captured the town during their offensive
launched on April 15, 1919.[14] By the Treaty of Trianon, Satu Mare officially ceased to be part of
Hungary becoming part of Romania. In 1940, the Second Vienna Award gave back Northern
Transylvania, including Satu Mare, to Hungary. In October 1944, the city was captured by the Soviet Red
Army. After 1945, the city became again part of Romania. Soon afterwards, a Communist regime came to
power, lasting until the 1989 revolution.[8]
Jewish community
The presence of Jews in Transylvania is first mentioned in the late 16th century. In the 17th century,
prince Gabriel Bethlen permitted Sephardi Jews from Turkey to settle in the Transylvanian capital
Gyulafehérvár (Alba Iulia), in 1623.[15] In the early 18th century, Jews were allowed to settle in Sathmar.
Some of them became involved in large-scale agriculture, becoming landlords or lessees, or were active
in trade and industry,[16] or distilled brandy and leased taverns on crown estates. In 1715, when Sathmar
became a royal town, they were expelled, beginning to resettle in the 1820s.[17] In 1841, several Jews
obtained the permission to settle permanently in Sathmar; the first Jewish community was formally
established in 1849, and in 1857, a synagogue was built. After a great number of traditional Ashkenazic
Jews had settled in the town, the Jewish community split in 1898,
when a supporter of the Hasidic movement was elected chief rabbi,
into an Orthodox and a Status Quo community, led by a Zionist
rabbi, which erected a synagogue in 1904.[16]
In the 1920s, there were

Jewish population of Satu Mare several Zionist organizations
in Satu Mare, and the
Jewish population yeshiva, one of the largest in
Year Decebal Street and Talmud Torah
(% of total population)[16][17] the region, was attended by
Synagogue
1734 11 400 students.[17] In 1930,
the city had five large
1746 19 synagogues and about 20
1850 78 shtiebels. In 1928, a conflict within the Orthodox community
broke out over the election of a new chief rabbi, lasting six years
1870 1,357 (7.4%) and ending in 1934 with the appointment of the Hasidic rabbi
1890 3,427 (16.5%) Joel Teitelbaum, a traditionalist and anti-Zionist,[16] who later
re-founded the Satmar Hasidic dynasty in Williamsburg, New
1910 7,194 (20.6%)
York.[18][19] Another Hasidic rabbi, Aharon Roth, the founder of
1930 11,533 (21%) the Shomrei Emunim and Toldot Aharon communities in
Jerusalem, was also active in Satu Mare.[17]
1941 12,960 (24.9%)
1944 ~20,000 After Satu Mare became part of Hungary again in 1940, the civil
rights and economic activities of the Jews were restricted, and in
1947 5,000 to 7,500
summer 1941, "foreign" Jews were deported to Kamenets-
1970 500 Podolski, where they were murdered by Hungarian and German
troops.[16] In 1944, the Jewish population was forced into the
2011 34
Satu Mare ghetto; the majority of men were sent to forced labor
battalions, and the others were deported to the extermination
camps in Poland, where the majority of them were murdered by the Nazis.[17] Six trains left Satu Mare
for Auschwitz-Birkenau, starting on May 19, 1944, each carrying approximately 3300 persons. The trains
passed through Kassa (Košice) on May 19, 22, 26, 29, 30, and June 1.[20][21] In total, 18,863 Jews were
deported from Satu Mare, Carei and the surrounding localities. Of these, 14,440 were killed.[22] Only a
small number of the survivors returned to Satu Mare after the war, but a number of Jews belonging to
linguistically and culturally different groups from all parts of Romania settled in the city. The majority of
them later emigrated to Israel. By 1970, the town's Jewish population numbered 500,[17] and in 2011,
only 34 Jews remained.[23]
In 2004, a Holocaust memorial was dedicated in the Decebal Street Synagogue's courtyard. Aside from
the synagogues, two Jewish cemeteries also remain.[24]
Among the notable members of the local Jewish community have been historian Ignác Acsády,
parliamentary deputies Ferenc Chorin and Kelemen Samu, politician Oszkár Jászi, writers Gyula Csehi,
Rodion Markovits, Sándor Dénes, and Ernő Szép, painter Pál Erdös, and director György Harag.[24]
