Suplac (Hungarian: Küküllőszéplak; Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈkykylːøːseːplɒk], meaning "nice place on the river Küküllő") is a commune in Mureș County, Transylvania, Romania which is composed of five villages: Idrifaia (Héderfája), Laslău Mare (Oláhszentlászló), Laslău Mic (Kisszentlászló), Suplac, and Vaidacuta (Vajdakuta).

History

[edit]

The locality formed part of the Székely Land region of the historical Transylvania province. Until 1918, the villages belonged to the Maros-Torda County of the Kingdom of Hungary. In the immediate aftermath of World War I, following the declaration of the Union of Transylvania with Romania, the area passed under Romanian administration during the Hungarian–Romanian War of 1918–1919. By the terms of the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, Suplac became part of the Kingdom of Romania.
