Borzs

Borzs is a historic town located in the county of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg, in the northern part of Romania. Before World War I, the area was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Borzs was a significant settlement in the county of Szabolcs.

Geographically, Borzs is situated in the Klisca Valley, near the shore of Lake Fehérvári. The town is surrounded by fertile agricultural land and woodlands. The local economy was traditionally based on agriculture, hunting, and fishing, with a focus on the production of grains, fruits, and vegetables.

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Borzs experienced a significant increase in population, driven by immigration from surrounding villages. The town's inhabitants were predominantly Hungarian-speaking, with a small minority of Romanian-speaking communities.

During World War I, Borzs was affected by the military conflicts, particularly the Austro-Hungarian military campaigns in the region. After the war, the Treaty of Trianon recognized the region as part of Romania, and Borzs became an administrative center in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county.

Today, Borzs is a small town with a rich history and cultural heritage. It is known for its traditional folk architecture, including multi-roomed houses and scenic courtyards. The local community has preserved many of its traditional customs, participating in annual festivals and maintaining a commitment to cultural conservation.
