Biharia (Hungarian: Bihar) is a commune in Bihor County, Crișana, Romania. It is composed of two villages, Biharia and Cauaceu (Hegyközkovácsi). In 2011 it had 4,205 inhabitants, of whom 85.87% were Hungarians, 12.12% Romanians and 1.73% Roma.[3]
History
The village is first mentioned in 1067[citation needed] as Byhor, later as Bychor in 1213[citation needed], as Bihar in 1332[citation needed], and again, in 1349 as Byhor[citation needed].
The Gesta Hungarorum, which is believed to have been written around the time of King Béla III of Hungary (1172-1196),[4] mentions that Duke Árpad (born 845) sent envoys to a castle called Bychor, to Duke Menumorout.[5]
It has a complex political history with periods of the Kingdom of Hungary, Eastern Hungarian Kingdom and the Principality of Transylvania. After the break-up of Austria-Hungary, in 1920, the commune became part of the Kingdom of Romania. In 1940, as a result of the Second Vienna Award it was returned to Hungary. Since the end of the World War II it has been part of the Romanian state.
