History The capital of the region was the city of Cluj-Napoca, and at first, its territory comprised an area slightly smaller than the nowadays Cluj County and Sălaj counties. On September 19, 1952, the administrative regions of Romania were reorganized by Decree nr. 331. The Cluj Region assimilated the southern raion of the dissolved Rodna Region and a rayon from the reorganised Mureș Region, reaching an area slightly smaller than nowadays Cluj County, Sălaj, and Bistrița-Năsăud counties. In 1960 it lost two rayons to the reorganized Magyar Autonomous Region.
