Bulgaria is an industrial district in Cluj-Napoca in Romania, located between a railway and the Someșul Mic River.[1]
History
[edit]In the 17th century, there was a village at the site that was inhabited by Hungarians,Transylvanian Saxons and Romanians.[1] Bulgarian gardeners settled there in the 18th century, drawn by the fertile soil which was suitable for growing vegetables. They named the region.[1]
By the early 20th century, it was known as "the vegetable garden of Cluj."[1] In addition to vegetables, Bulgarian settlers grew herbs, which they supplied to the markets of Cluj.
