The town is located in the centre of the Gyergyó Basin, which lies between the ranges of the Eastern Carpathians. Named after its church dedicated to St Nicholas, the settlement was founded in the 13th century by Székelys who fled here during the Mongol invasion. The Székelys had equal rights with the nobles, owned their own land, paid mostly no taxes, and in return were obliged to go to war one by one to defend Hungary from foreign invasions. King Matthias was the first to declare Gyergyó a separate Székely seat from Csík. In the early 1500s, the Lázár family acquired significant estates in Csík and Gyergyó, and for a long time they were the leaders of the Székely seat. In the 16th century the first Vlachs appeared in Gyergyó. In the middle of the 17th century, with the support of the Transylvanian prince, a significant number of Armenians settled in the town, who later united with the Roman Catholic Church keeping their own rite. Their church is one of the town's landmarks. In 1876, the Székely seats were abolished during the modernisation of the administration, and the town became part of Csík County. From 1952 to 1968, it was part of the Hungarian autonomous region created under Soviet pressure, which was then abolished by the Romanians. It is still a Hungarian majority town.

The alliance of the seven Hungarian tribes took possession of the then largely uninhabited Carpathian Basin. Until then, the sparse Slavic population of the north-western Carpathians had lived under Moravian rule for a few decades after the collapse of the Avar Khaganate in the early 9th century.

1000
The Kingdom of Hungary was established with the coronation of King Stephen I. He converted the Hungarians to Christianity and created two archdioceses (Esztergom and Kalocsa) and ten dioceses. He divided Hungary into counties led by ispáns, who were appointed by the king.
13th century
There was already a settlement by the György Stream. It was probably established by the Székelys who fled to the forests of the area during the Mongol invasion. The settlement was named after its church dedicated to St. Nicholas (Szent Miklós), but the origin of the Gyergyó name, the first component of the settlement’s name, is debated. According to a theory, it comes from the present participle of the Hungarian verb gurog (görög in present day Hungarian, meaning ’to roll’), which became görgő (rolling), then gyergyó. Others trace it back to the name of the György (George) Stream. According to a tradition, the first settlers exclaimed Jer! Jó! (Come! Good!). Another likely explanation is that it comes from the name of St. George (Szent György).

Mongol Invasion

1241-1242
The hordes of the Mongol Empire invaded Hungary and almost completely destroyed it. One third to one half of the population was destroyed. The Mongols also suffered heavy losses in the battle of Muhi and they could not hunt down the king. After their withdrawal, King Béla IV reorganized Hungary. He allowed the feudal lords to build stone castles because they were able to successfully resist the nomadic Mongols. The vast majority of stone castles were built after this. The king called in German, Vlach (Romanian) and Slavic settlers to replace the destroyed population.

The House of Árpád, the first Hungarian royal dynasty, died out with the death of King Andrew III. Hungary was ruled by oligarchs, the most powerful of whom was Csák Máté, whose main ally was the Aba family. King Charles I (1308-1342), supported by the Pope, eventually emerged as the most prominent of the contenders for the Hungarian throne. But it took decades to break the power of the oligarchs.
1332
The settlement was mentioned for the first time.
1437
The three nations of Transylvania (the Hungarian nobility, the Székelys and the Saxons) formed an alliance in Kápolna (Union of Kápolna). This union gained its true significance after 1570, when Transylvania became an independent principality due to the Turkish conquest of central Hungary. These three nations were represented in the Transylvanian Diet, and they elected the prince. Vlach migrants (mostly shepherds and peasants) were a small minority at the time and were excluded from the political power just like Hungarian peasants.
1463
Gyergyó was mentioned as the sub seat of Csík. The Székely seat of Gyergyó appeared for the first time. The Székelys were organized into special administrative units called seats (szék). They elected their leaders themselves, had equal rights with the nobles, owned their lands and were mostly exempt from taxation. In exchange for all these privileges, they were obliged to enlist as soldiers in the event of an external attack on Hungary.
June 27, 1466

A group of the barons elected Ferdinand I of the House of Habsburg to the throne, who promised to defend Hungary from the Turks. He was the younger brother of the most powerful European monarch Emperor Charles V. But the nobility chose the most powerful Hungarian baron, Szapolyai János, who was also crowned as King John I. The country was split in two and a decades-long struggle for power began.

April, 1562
The Székely assembly in Székelyudvarhely organized the armed rebellion against King John II of Hungary in order to restore their privileges abolished by the king. The plan was that the Habsburg emperor would support their rebellion from outside. The captain of Hadad Castle, Sulyok György, defected to King Ferdinand I, so the Transylvanian army of King John II besieged the castle. An army of Germans and Hungarians, led by Balassa Menyhárt, who had defected earlier, and Zay Ferenc, the captain of the Upper Hungary, set out to liberate the castle.
March 4, 1562
Balassa Menyhárt and Zay Ferenc, Captain of Upper Hungary, defeated the Transylvanian army led by Báthory István, Captain of Várad, in the Battle of Hadad. The Transylvanian defeat was caused by the fact that the vanguard led by Némethi Ferenc, against the orders of King John II, engaged the larger enemy army in battle prematurely. King John II was rescued by the armies of the pashas of Temesvár and Buda, who attacked Balassa's army and pushed it back to Szatmár, but Hadad remained in Ferdinand's hands.
June 20, 1562
The army of King John II defeated the Székely rebels along the Nyárád River between Vaja and Kisgörgény. The leaders were impaled by a decision of the Diet of Segesvár. The uprising was suppressed by Radák László, the commander of the royal army. After that, John II turned the Székelys of the third, lowest, rank into serfs and donated their lands at the country assembly held in Segesvár. He also extended the ius regium to all the Székelys, which meant that the lands of the Székelys without heritor were inherited by the treasury and not the community.

Little more...
1686
The army of the Holy League recaptured Buda from the Turks by siege. In 1687, the Imperial army invaded the Principality of Transylvania. The liberation was hindered by the French breaking their promise of peace in 1688 and attacking the Habsburg Empire. By 1699, when the Peace of Karlóca was signed, all of Hungary and Croatia had been liberated from the Ottoman Empire with the exception of Temesköz, the area bounded by the Maros, the Tisza and the Danube rivers. It was not until the Peace of Požarevac in 1718 that Temesköz was liberated from the Turks. However, the continuous war against the Turkish invaders and the Habsburg autocracy, which lasted for more than 150 years, wiped out large areas of the Hungarian population, which had previously made up 80% of the country's population, and was replaced by Vlachs (Romanians), Serbs and other Slavic settlers and Germans. The Habsburgs also favoured the settlement of these foreign peoples over the 'rebellious' Hungarians.

The three nations (the Hungarians, the Székelys – who are also Hungarians –, and the Saxons) administered its internal affairs with autonomy and the freedom of religion was also preserved. The incorporation of Transylvania into the Habsburg Empire was prevented by the temporary election of Thököly Imre as Prince of Transylvania in 1690 with Turkish help.
from around 1690
German mercenaries exploited the population, they committed violence against them and robbed them.
late 17th century

Hungarian War of Independence led by Prince Rákóczi Ferenc II
Little more...
1703-1711
After the expulsion of the Turks, the Habsburgs treated Hungary as a newly conquered province and did not respect its constitution. The serfs rose up against the Habsburg ruler because of the sufferings caused by the war and the heavy burdens, and they invited Rákóczi Ferenc II to lead them. Trusting in the help promised by King Louis XIV of France, he accepted. Rákóczi rallied the nobility to his side, and soon most of the country was under his control. The rebels were called the kurucs. In 1704, the French and the Bavarians were defeated at the Battle of Blenheim, depriving the Hungarians of their international allies. The Rusyn, Slovak and Vlach peasants and the Saxons of Szepes supported the fight for freedom, while the Serbs in the south and the Saxons in Transylvania served the Habsburgs. Due to lack of funds Rákóczi could not raise a strong regular army, and in 1710, Hungary was also hit by a severe plague. Rákóczi tried unsuccessfully to forge an alliance with Tsar Peter the Great of Russia. In his absence, without his knowledge, his commander-in-chief, Károlyi Sándor, accepted Emperor Joseph I's peace offer. The Peace of Szatmár formally restored the Hungarian constitution and religious freedom and granted amnesty, but did not ease the burden of serfdom. Rákóczi refused to accept the pardon and went into exile. He died in Rodosto, Turkey.
1703
The people of Gyergyó and Csík took up arms in the name of liberty on the side of Rákóczi Ferenc II. Lázár Ferenc, who gained the title count from Emperor Leopold in 1702, fled to Moldova, but he soon returned and became the leader his people.
1708
Rabutin, the commander of the imperial forces in Transylvania, sent an army to Gyergyó under the command of Acton. Vice royal judge Both András died a heroic death on the Gréces Hill. After the battle was lost, Lázár Ferenc fled to Moldova again. He returned only after the Peace of Szatmár was signed, when he received amnesty thanks to his wife. The army of Acton ravaged Gyergyó and burned the castle of Szárhegy as well. After that, a plague destroyed half the population.

They started the forced conscription of the Székelys, who resisted in defence of their traditions and privileges. The imperial army led by Baron Siskovics József attacked Mádéfalva, where the Székely leaders had gathered, and massacred 200 Székelys, including women and children, with savage cannon fire on 7 January 1764. This event is known in history as the 'Madefalva Massacre' or 'Madefalva Calamity'.
1808
A great fire destroyed 700 houses.
1848-1849
Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence
Little more...
1848-1849
Following the news of the Paris Revolution on 22 February 1848, the Hungarian liberal opposition led by Kossuth Lajos demanded the abolition of serfdom, the abolition of the tax exemption of the nobility, a parliament elected by the people, and an independent and accountable national government. The revolution that broke out in Pest on 15 March expressed its demands in 12 points, which, in addition to the above mentioned, included the freedom of the press, equality before the law, the release of the political prisoners and the union with Transylvania. A Hungarian government was formed, Batthyány Lajos became prime minister, and on 11 April Emperor Ferdinand V ratified the reform laws. On August 31 the Emperor demanded the repeal of the laws threatening with military intervention. In September the Emperor unleashed the army of Jelacic, Ban of Croatia, on Hungary, but they were defeated by the Hungarians in the Battle of Pákozd on 29 September. An open war began for the independence of Hungary. The Habsburgs incited the nationalities against the Hungarians. The Rusyns, the Slovenes and most of the Slovaks and Germans supported the cause persistently, but the Vlachs (Romanians) and the Serbians turned against the Hungarians. The glorious Spring Campaign in 1849 led by General Görgei Artúr liberated almost all of Hungary. On 1 May 1849, Emperor Franz Joseph, effectively admitting defeat, asked for the help of Tsar Nicholas I of Russia, who sent an intervention army of 200,000 soldiers against Hungary. The resistance became hopeless against the overwhelming enemy forces and on 13 August Görgei Artúr surrendered to the Russians at Világos. Bloody reprisals followed, and on 6 October 1849, 12 generals and a colonel of the Hungarian Revolution, the martyrs of Arad, were executed in Arad. On the same day, Batthyány Lajos, the first Hungarian Prime Minister, was executed by firing squad in Pest. The Habsburgs introduced total authoritarianism in Hungary, but they also failed to fulfil their promises to the nationalities that had betrayed the Hungarians.
1867
Austro-Hungarian Compromise
Little more...
1867
The Habsburg Empire was weakened by the defeats it suffered in the implementation of Italian and German unity. The Hungarians wanted to return to the reform laws of 1848, but they did not have the strength to do so. Emperor Franz Joseph and the Hungarian opposition, led by Deák Ferenc, finally agreed to restructure the Empire and abolish absolutism. Hungary was given autonomy in its internal affairs, with its own government and parliament, which was essential for the development of its economy and culture. However, foreign and military affairs remained in the hands of the Habsburgs and served their aspiration for becoming a great power. The majority wanted Hungary's independence, but they were excluded from political power.
1876
Public administration was modernized and medieval structures were abolished in Hungary. The autonomy of the Székelys was abolished and their traditional administrative units, the seats, were incorporated into the county system.
by the 19th century
Gyergyószentmiklós became the trade centre of the neighbourhood. The first factories were established in the 1870s. The present day town centre was completed by the end of the century.
1907
Gyergyószentmiklós became a town.
1908
A grammar school was established. Its new building was completed in 1915.
1910
The town had 8905 inhabitants (8549 Hungarians, 155 Vlachs and 115 Germans).
1914-1918
World War I
Little more...
1914-1918
As part of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, Hungary took part in the war on the side of the Central Powers.
1916
On 27 August, Romania declared war on the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and launched an attack against Hungary. This triggered a huge wave of refugees from Transylvania, as the population feared a repeat of the Romanian ethnic cleansing of 1848-49. The Romanians invaded most of Székelyland. Austro-Hungarian and German forces drove the invaders out of the country by mid-October and occupied Bucharest on 6 December. Romania surrendered and signed a peace treaty with the central powers on 7 May 1918 (Treaty of Bucharest).
1918
On 3 November, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy signed the Armistice of Padua. The already defeated Romania then declared war on Germany on 10 November, just one day before the Germans signed the armistice near Compiègne. The Romanians then launched an offensive against Hungary, which had already unconditionally ceased fighting at the demand of the Entente. Romania was only recognised by the Entente powers as one of the victors of WWI only later.
November 1918 - January 1919
The Czech, Romanian and Serbian occupation of Hungary
Little more...
November 1918 - January 1919
In Hungary, the freemasonic subversion brought the pro-Entente Károlyi Mihály to power. The new government, naively trusting the Entente powers, met all their demands and disbanded the Hungarian military, which rendered the country completely defenseless in the most dire need. Under French and Italian command, Czech, Romanian and Serbian troops invaded large parts of Hungary, where they immediately began the takeover. They fired Hungarian railway workers, officials and teachers, banned the use of the Hungarian language, abolished Hungarian education, and disposed of everything that reminded them of the country's Hungarian past. Hundreds of thousands of Hungarians were forced to leave their homeland, and the forcible assimilation of the remaining Hungarians was begun.
December, 1918
In Kolozsvár, on the initiative of retired Lieutenant General Lukács Béla, the Székely Division was created to defend against the Romanian troops invading Transylvania. It was the only well-equipped, combat-ready Hungarian military force to fight against the Romanian conquerors. At its peak it numbered about 12,000. In Hungary, the political power was usurped by the pro-Entente left-wing government of Károlyi Mihály, which let down the Székely Division and disbanded the Hungarian military. The communists, to whom Károlyi Mihály conceded the power, were also hostile towards the Székely Division. Later most of its soldiers took part in the North Campaign that temporarily liberated a significant part of northern Hungary from the Czech invaders.
from 1918
By 1922, 197,000 Hungarians were forced to leave the Romanian-occupied part of the country. By 1939 a further 169,000 Hungarians had left Transylvania, mostly aristocrats, intellectuals and a significant number of farmers. Most of them moved to Hungary. Before the Romanian invasion, 1,662,000 Hungarians lived in Transylvania, 32 percent of the population.
until 1920
The town was the seat of the district of Gyergyószentmiklós within Csík County.
4 June 1920
Trianon Dictate
Little more...
4 June 1920
Hungary was forced to sign the Treaty of Trianon, although the country was not invited to the peace talks. Hungary lost two thirds of its territory that had belonged to it for more than 1000 years. One-third of the Hungarian population came under foreign rule. On the basis of the national principle, countries with a more mixed and less ethnically balanced composition than the former Hungary were created, such as Czechoslovakia and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). For example, while 48% of the population of the territory ceded to Czechoslovakia was Slovak and 30% Hungarian, 54% of the population of the former Hungary was Hungarian and 10.6% Slovak. And in the territory that is now part of Serbia, the Hungarians outnumbered the Serbs. The part of the territory allocated to Romania from Hungary was larger than the remaining territory of Hungary, despite the fact that there were 10 million Hungarians and less than 3 million Romanians in the former Hungary. While Hungary used to have the most liberal nationality policy in Europe, the successor states had no respect at all for the national and cultural rights of the indigenous Hungarians and engaged in forced assimilation. The Trianon Dictate destroyed the organic economic unity of the region. Before the First World War, Hungary had a dynamic economy, more advanced than Spain's. After 1920, the successor states formed the so-called "Little Entente", putting Hungary under an economic blockade and sabotaging it on the international stage.

30 August 1940
Under the Second Vienna Award, Hungary regained 43,492 km2 of Hungarian-majority territory from Romania (Northern Transylvania). In Southern Transylvania, a further 400,000 Hungarians remained under Romanian rule.
autumn, 1944
The Romanian paramilitary organization called Maniu Guard committed a series of murders and robberies among the Hungarian population of Transylvania under the guise of partisan actions. In September and October, they murdered 200 innocent civilians. The members of the Maniu Guard and the Romanian gendarmes interned thousands of Hungarians in death camps. From Maros-Torda County alone, 4000 Hungarians, including 450 children, were deported to Barcaföldvár (near Brassó) and other camps (e.g. Tagru Jiu) only from Maros-Torda County. Most of them perished there as a result of cruel treatment. The Barcaföldvár internment camp was shut down on 29 October 1945, at which time only 90 people were still alive.
October 15, 1944
The Romanian paramilitary organization called Maniu Guard shot to death three Székely workers in the brickworks, further ethnic cleansing in the town was prevented by the local Soviet commander.
1944
The Felszeg district burned down.
November 12, 1944
Soviet General Vinogradov banned the Romanian authorities from Northern Transylvania because of the genocide committed by the Maniu Guard. The Romanian authorities were allowed to return after the formation of the Petru Groza government on 6 March 1945.
1947
Paris Dictate
Little more...
1947
The Paris Dictate, in accordance with Soviet interests, did not recognise the just territorial revisions made by the two Vienna decisions and handed the reclaimed Hungarian-majority territories back to Czechoslovakia, Romania and Yugoslavia, where the Hungarians were subjected to severe atrocities, expulsions and deprivation of rights. It also seceded three more villages south of Pozsony from Hungary to Czechoslovakia.
September 21, 1952
Soviet pressure led to the creation of the Hungarian Autonomous Province, which included most of Székelyland and was based in Marosvásárhely.
1960
The Hungarian Autonomous Province was mutilated by detaching Háromszék and renamed Maros-Hungarian Autonomous Province.
1968
The Maros-Hungarian Autonomous Province was completely abolished. 800,000 Romanians were settled in Transylvania from Moldavia, but many also came from Wallachia. The aim was to Romanianize the still majorly Hungarian towns and to break up the ethnic Hungarian blocks. In Székelyföld, Marosvásárhely was the most successfully Romanianized.
1980s
The Székely county centres were classified as closed towns where only Romanians were allowed to settle.

St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church
History
The church was built between 1753-57 on the site of the old Gothic church (1498), enlarged in 1629.
The parish of Gyergyószentmiklós existed already at the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries. The first mention of Gorgio is found in contemporary documents in 1333. The ancient origins of the parish and church of Gyergyószentmiklós are documented in the Missale, a religious missal from 1428. The town was named after the church dedicated to St. Nicholas (Miklós).
The first church of the settlement was built in the late 15th century in Gothic style. The medieval church was enlarged in 1629 on the initiative of parish priest Ferenczi György. The church was damaged during the Tatar invasion of 1661. No major restoration was carried out.
The new church was built in Baroque style between 1756-1773 in the place of the old church, which had proved to be small, under the parish priest Sikó József. The architect was Fogarassy György. In 1869, major repairs were made to the church.
Since 1990, St Nicholas' Day processions have been held in the town. In 1995, during the renovation of the tower, a sundial with Latin inscriptions was discovered on the south wall.
The tower, with its clock and 4 bells, was raised three times, as indicated by the engraved dates 1733, 1756, 1837.
The high altar made in 1780, the side altar and the pulpit have Baroque style, while the St. Anthony altar has Rococo features. In the sanctuary there is a statue of St Nicholas, the patron saint of the church. Below him is the crowned figure of the Blessed Virgin.
The altar of St John of Nepomuk was made from the donation of the Armenian Lukács János in 1776, and the altar of St John the Baptist from the donation of Lukács Jakab in 1775.
The neo-Gothic organ, made by Kollonits István, was bought for the church in 1877 by Bishop Fogarassy Mihály of Transylvania, who was born in Gyergyószentmiklós.
The church is surrounded by a stone wall, the construction of which was first mentioned in 1657, then rebuilt in 1756, and the adjacent cemetery was enlarged. On the wall surrounding the church sits a painted stone statue of St John of Nepomuk.
In front of the church, in the centre line of Márton Áron Street, stands the statue of Bishop Mihály Fogarassy of Transylvania.

Armenian Catholic Church
History
In 1672, a large number of Armenians from Moldavia settled in Gyergyószentmiklós, mainly engaged in trade and industry. In 1680, they rented the wooden chapel in the 'Cemetery of Foreigners', established by the dean Ferenczy György. On April 6, 1717, in the presence of Bishop Mártonffy György of Transylvania, the Armenians took possession of the small Gothic chapel built in 1450. In 1722 the wooden chapel was enlarged, but it proved to be insufficient for the growing community. Theodorovich Simon, who was appointed parish priest of the Armenians of Gyergyószentmiklós in 1726, became the driving force behind the church's construction.
In 1730, the wooden chapel was demolished and work began on the church, which was completed in 1733. On 24 August 1733 it was consecrated by Bajtay Antal, Bishop of Transylvania. The tower was built in 1734 by Lukács János at his own expense. In 1748 it was fortified with a wall and round towers, and its parish was built in 1769.
In 1899 the monument was renovated and the interior was decorated with baroque frescoes. The late-Renaissance doorway beam bear the date 1637, marking the establishment of the cemetery for 'foreigners'. In the window-like recesses of the castle wall, on the inner side, there are masterly reliefs and paintings from around 1750.
A Gothic altar statue of Mary from the medieval chapel was found in the attic of one of the bastions of the church fence. The four altars and the pulpit were built between 1752 and 1754. One of the jewels of the church is the wooden baroque pulpit with the statue of the four evangelists at the bottom and St Michael on top. Also noteworthy are the ornate main and side altars and the altarpiece (St. Gregory), made in Venice in 1752. In the centre of the baroque high altar, which reaches up to the ceiling, is a painting of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, restored in 1889. The southern side altar depicts the scene of the stoning of St Stephen. The north side altar contains the most valuable painting in the church, painted in 1752 in the Venetian convent of the Mekhitarist monastery. The painting depicts Saint Gregory the Illuminator converting the persecuting King Tiridates III, which led to the conversion of the entire Armenian people to Christianity.

In the early 14th century, the ruins of the castle were used to build a castle, which became the property of the Both family at the end of the 17th century. During the Hungarian War of Independence led by Rákóczi Ferenc II (1703-1711), the castle was destroyed by the imperial troops and has been ruined ever since. In 1933 a small chapel was built in its centre.

Former Hungarian Royal Grammar School, Salamon Ernő High School
History
In 1905, the Ministry of Public Education of Hungary agreed to the establishment of a secondary school at the request of the town council. The central authorities wanted to establish a high school of sciences that met the needs of the time, but the people of Gyergyószentmiklós insisted on a grammar school based on a conservative education system. The grammar school was established in 1908 in the building of the Civil School for Boys.
In 1912, Orth Ambrus and Somló Emil were commissioned by the Ministry to draw up plans for the new building. Construction began in 1913, but the outbreak of the First World War halted the process. In 1915, the building, which was about to be handed over, was equipped to receive and treat the wounded. It was a Red Cross hospital for six months, and in September 1915 it was ready to start teaching. In 1923 the occupying Romanians stopped Hungarian education, which was resumed in 1940 thanks to the Second Vienna Award. In 1968 it took the name of Salamon Ernő, a poet who graduated from the school in 1929.

After the Second World War, the Catholic school was nationalised by the communist regime, and in 1950 the vocational school moved to the school building built by Bishop Fogarasy. In 2003, the Catholic Church took back the building. Since 2006, vocational and theological education have been working together in harmony. Vocational education began in the town in 1783 in connection with woodworking.

The Baroque Armenian merchant house was built between 1770-1778 by the architect Vertán István. It was purchased by the Austrian authorities in 1820 (1821?) and the headquarters of the Gyergyó battalion of the Noble First Székely Infantry Regiment were established here. In the spring of 1849, Gál Sándor, commander of the revolutionary troops in Csík, arrested Major Csernikó and the Austrian training officers of the Székely border regiment here, enabling the people of Gyergyó to once again support the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence. Its wooden gate was made in 1885 by Máthé Imre, a master carver. The Tarisznyás Márton Museum mainly exhibits ethnographic relics of the Gyergyó region.
Today it houses the Tarisznyás Márton Museum. The collecting work started in the early 1950s by a few enthusiastic intellectuals and artists (mostly from Gyergyószentmiklós). Tarisznyás Márton (1927-1980), a young student of history, became the first employee and director of the museum; he served and managed the museum for the rest of his life, passionately collecting, professionally processing, exhibiting and making available to the public the relics of the past of the people of Gyergyó. The collection was moved to its present location in 1962. The museum took the name of Tarisznyás Márton in 1992.

Fogarasy Mihály (1800-1882), a Roman Catholic bishop of Transylvania, was born in the town. In 1864, he was named Bishop of Transylvania in Gyulafehérvár. Being loyal to the Habsburg imperial family throughout, his relations with the local clergy were rather cool. As bishop of Transylvania, his main activity was to promote faith, to revitalise the school system, especially the Catholic people's schools. In 1866, at the country assembly in Kolozsvár, he re-launched the work of the Transylvanian Roman Catholic State with the Catholics present. He built a convent, school and a church for the Sisters of Mercy who had settled in Gyulafehervár; in his hometown, Gyergyószentmiklós, he built a girls' educational institution and entrusted its management to the Sisters of Mercy.

Tarisznyás Márton (1927-1980), a young student of history, became the first employee and director of the museum; he served and managed the museum for the rest of his life, passionately collecting, professionally processing, exhibiting and making available to the public the relics of the past of the people of Gyergyó. The collection was moved to its present location in 1962. The museum took the name of Tarisznyás Márton in 1992.

Named after its church dedicated to St Nicholas, the settlement was founded in the 13th century by Sz\u00e9kelys who fled here during the Mongol invasion. The Sz\u00e9kelys had equal rights with the nobles, owned their own land, paid mostly no taxes, and in return were obliged to go to war one by one to defend Hungary from foreign invasions. King Matthias was the first to declare Gyergy\u00f3 a separate Sz\u00e9kely seat from Cs\u00edk. In the early 1500s, the L\u00e1z\u00e1r family acquired significant estates in Cs\u00edk and Gyergy\u00f3, and for a long time they were the leaders of the Sz\u00e9kely seat. In the 16th century the first Vlachs appeared in Gyergy\u00f3. In the middle of the 17th century, with the support of the Transylvanian prince, a significant number of Armenians settled in the town, who later united with the Roman Catholic Church keeping their own rite. Their church is one of the town's landmarks. In 1876, the Sz\u00e9kely seats were abolished during the modernisation of the administration, and the town became part of Cs\u00edk County. From 1952 to 1968, it was part of the Hungarian autonomous region created under Soviet pressure, which was then abolished by the Romanians. It is still a Hungarian majority town.","nameorigin":"","history":"#1|@#3|@13th century|There was already a settlement by the Gy\u00f6rgy Stream. It was probably established by the Sz\u00e9kelys who fled to the forests of the area during the Mongol invasion. The settlement was named after its church dedicated to St. Nicholas (Szent Mikl\u00f3s), but the origin of the Gyergy\u00f3 name, the first component of the settlement\u2019s name, is debated. According to a theory, it comes from the present participle of the Hungarian verb gurog (g\u00f6r\u00f6g in present day Hungarian, meaning \u2019to roll\u2019), which became g\u00f6rg\u0151 (rolling), then gyergy\u00f3. Others trace it back to the name of the Gy\u00f6rgy (George) Stream. According to a tradition, the first settlers exclaimed Jer! J\u00f3! (Come! Good!).

This union gained its true significance after 1570, when Transylvania became an independent principality due to the Turkish conquest of central Hungary. These three nations were represented in the Transylvanian Diet, and they elected the prince. Vlach migrants (mostly shepherds and peasants) were a small minority at the time and were excluded from the political power just like Hungarian peasants.@1463|Gyergy\u00f3 was mentioned as the sub seat of Cs\u00edk.

In Hungary, the political power was usurped by the pro-Entente left-wing government of K\u00e1rolyi Mih\u00e1ly, which let down the Sz\u00e9kely Division and disbanded the Hungarian military. The communists, to whom K\u00e1rolyi Mih\u00e1ly conceded the power, were also hostile towards the Sz\u00e9kely Division.
