History

The district on the right bank of the Maros became known as Remeteszeg. The Székelys who settled in the area were Roman Catholics until the second half of the 16th century. The population of Remeteszeg became mainly Vlach after the Reformation because of the Vlach serfs settled here by the Lázár family. The first evidence of the emergence of Reformation in the district is the diocesan visitation report of 27 January 1609. Remeteszeg and Hídvég were administratively united with Marosvásárhely in 1902. In the first decades of the 20th century, the Hungarian-speaking population on this banks of the Maros River, especially the Reformed, increased greatly. The consecration of the church and prayer house took place on 12 December 1937.
