History

It has a complex history, having in different periods been part the Kingdom of Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Habsburg Monarchy and the Kingdom of Romania.

In 1920 the town became part of Romania, under the Treaty of Trianon that concluded World War I. As a result of the Second Vienna Award it became a part of Hungary between 1940 and 1945. Since then it has been part of Romania.

Ardud is twinned with:

gollark: Also, some things actually need and can use overly large integers now even if they're not being used for memory addresses, which would be silly.
gollark: As far as I'm aware, quantum stuff can mostly just accelerate specific algorithms and will be relegated to expensive coprocessors like GPUs.
gollark: Why not just get ahead of the problems and use 128-bit ints?
gollark: When using sane non-JS stuff I try to use 64-bit timestamps so they'll be valid for 584 million years.
gollark: They'll probably begin to break a bit beforehand, due to inaccurate clocks and computing timestamps a bit in the future for various purposes.
