Villages

Purcăreț village had 139 inhabitants at the 2002 census. It is located on the right bank of the Someș River, and borders Maramureș County. It is first attested in a document of 1543, referred to as Porkerecz. Other documents refer to it as Porkoricza (1553), Pwrkerecz, Purkerech (1566), Purkeritz (1733), Porkeresty (1750), Purkeretz (1760-1762), Purkuretz (1830), Purkuretzi (1850), Purkerecz, Purcureți (1854), and finally Purcăreț (1966).[3] The noble family Lazăr of Purcăreț originates from this village.[4] The Wooden Church from Purcăreț is traditionally dated from 1698, although the Culture Ministry cites 1740 and researcher Ioana Cristache-Panait says it is from the first half of the 19th century.

gollark: But in assembly it's harder to make things which are actually useful to users.
gollark: Very indirectly. But you don't really have to think about them as a high-level programmer.
gollark: Interrupt handlers and whatever are further from the sort of things which are actually useful to program and do useful things for users than webservers.
