The name of the town is intertwined with the name Wesselényi. Members of the Hungarian aristocratic family generously supported the town's Reformed grammar school, founded in the 17th century. Wesselényi Miklós (1796-1850) was a leading figure in the Hungarian reform movement, who was the first to free his peasants from serfdom and educate them at his own expense. He was sentenced to imprisonment for criticising the Habsburg government, which obstructed the reforms, and then went blind. Despite this, he remained active and was instrumental in the declaration of the reunification of Transylvania with Hungary by the Diet of Kolozsvár after the 1848 revolution. The statue of Wesselényi Miklós, inaugurated in 1902, is still the city's main landmark. The statue was knocked down by the Romanian invaders, but was re-erected in 1942 after the return of Northern Transylvania to Hungary. Zilah was the centre of Central Szolnok County until 1876, when it became the seat of Szilágy County. The county's name is now Romanianized to Sălaj, and the town's to Zalău, but it is still its seat. The town lost its Hungarian majority during the 20th century.

According to the story, the Hungarian chieftain T\u00f6h\u00f6t\u00f6m and his son, Horka, rested here with their group during the conquest of the Carpathian Basin, and T\u00f6h\u00f6t\u00f6m stabbed his spear to the ground here. The gesta genre, contrary to the chronicle, mixed reality with fiction with the purpose of entertaining and also exaggerating the deeds of a royal family. T\u00f6h\u00f6t\u00f6m was the leader of one of the seven Hungarian tribes, but no other data confirms that this episode ever happened. The town's name comes from the Turk silah or silaj noun, which refers to the belt where the man puts his weapon. This implies that it was an Avar settlement.@#3|@1220|The Regestrum Varadinense or Register of V\u00e1rad mentioned the settlement as villa Ziloc. The register contains the records of trials by ordeal carried out in the cathedral before the tomb of King St. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 and of the legal cases presented to the canons of the cathedral chapter of V\u00e1rad in the period between 1208 and 1235. Most of the register was written by the Hungarian Anianus (\u00c1nyos mester). It mentions 711 place names from 43 Hungarian counties and also 2500 personal names.@#5|@1241|The settlement was destroyed during the Mongol invasion.@1246|The Diocese of V\u00e1rad asked for and received relieves in order to restore the church destroyed by the Mongols and to replenish the population.@#6|@1370|King Louis I of Hungary liberated the settlement from its serf village status and permitted to hold yearly fair on the feast of St. Margaret.@August 1, 1473|King Matthias of Hungary granted the settlement oppidum status and right to hold yearly fair. The town developed due to the products of its craftsmen and the traffic on the salt road.@1514|The town was relieved of the payment of the ninth (the tax paid to the landowner by the serfs in medieval Hungary).

Emperor Joseph II ordered an increase in the number of border guards. The Valch serfs in Transylvania were under the misapprehension that the conscription had been started, and began to gather en masse, as the military service was the only way for the Vlach migrants that overpopulated in the Transylvanian mountains to escape the misery. The leaders of the local administration, believing that they were being bypassed by the imperial court, tried to block the process. In addition, the Vlach Orthodox priests incited the Vlach population against the Hungarians, whom they hated, and fooled the Vlachs with the myth of their Daco-Roman origin. Horea spread the word that the emperor had appointed him as the leader of the Vlachs. The enraged Vlach peasants attacked the Hungarian and Saxon citizens and began a terrible ethnic cleansing, exterminating 133 mostly Hungarian settlements and murdering thousands of people. After the mob was crushed, two of their leaders, Horea and Clo\u0219ca, were executed by the wheel in Gyulafeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r. The third leader, Cri\u015fan, cowardly committed suicide in the prison.

The second one was a 3,5-4 metres tall obelisk with the relief of T\u00f6h\u00f6t\u00f6m and a turul bird on the top. Wessel\u00e9nyi Mikl\u00f3s (1796-1850) was the leader of the aristocratic opposition and the reform movement in the Upper Chamber of the Hungarian Parliament together with Sz\u00e9chenyi Istv\u00e1n. He relieved his serfs of the robot (personal labor for the landowner), he was the first to liberate his peasants from serfdom and he also educated them at his own cost. The Court closed his printing house in Kolozsv\u00e1r. Wessel\u00e9nyi saved many lives during the great flood in Pest in 1838, thus he earned the name Boatman of the Flood. He was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment for criticizing the government's behaviour of obstructing reforms. He got blind, but in spite of his condition he played a great role in that the country assembly in Kolozsv\u00e1r declared the reunion of Transylvania with Hungary in 1848. He died of pneumonia in 1850.@1902|After the new building of the Calvinist College was built, the institution took the name of Wessel\u00e9nyi.@#31|@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. 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 Compi\u00e8gne.

Romania was only recognised by the Entente powers as one of the victors of WWI only later.@#32|@December, 1918|In Kolozsv\u00e1r, on the initiative of retired Lieutenant General Luk\u00e1cs B\u00e9la, the Sz\u00e9kely 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 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. 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.

It was probably removed by Romanian nationalists just like most of the Hungarian statues in Transylvania. The monument was re-erected in 2008, in a more modest form next to the Reformed Church."},{"sightId":2421,"townId":58,"active":2,"name_LO":"","address":"","mapdata":"1|842|474","gps_lat":"47.1799499117","gps_long":"23.0570344792","religion":0,"oldtype":"38","newtype":"38","homepage":"","openinghours":"","muemlekemlink":"","csemadoklink":"","picture":"\u003Ca title=\u0022Teutorigos, CC BY-SA 3.0 RO \u003Chttps:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/ro\/deed.en\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons\u0022 href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ref_zalau_2.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003Cimg width=\u0022256\u0022 alt=\u0022Ref zalau 2\u0022 src=\u0022https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/8\/85\/Ref_zalau_2.jpg\/256px-Ref_zalau_2.jpg\u0022\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E","picture_ref":"\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Ref_zalau_2.jpg\u0022\u003ETeutorigos\u003C\/a\u003E, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/ro\/deed.en\u0022\u003ECC BY-SA 3.0 RO\u003C\/a\u003E, via Wikimedia Commons","name":"Memorial to the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence in 1848-1849","seolink":"memorial-to-the-hungarian-revolution-and-war-of-independence-in-1848-1849","note":"","history":"A memorial to the 1848-49 Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence."}]},"language":"en","region":"romania","regionid":4,"offer":[],"gallery":false,"album":false}
