Targu Mures is a city in Mures county, in the region of Transylvania. An alternate spelling of its name is Tirgu Mures, and is often abbreviated Tg. Mures. The city was first documented in 1332 under the Latin name Novum Forum Siculorum. In 1405, the King of Hungary Sigismund of Luxembourg granted the city the right to organize fairs, and in 1616 the city changed its name to Targu Mures (targ mean "market" in Romanian). The city received a major boost to its social and economic life when it became home to supreme court of justice of the Principality of Transylvania in 1754. Avram Iancu, the leader of the 1848 Romanian revolution in Transylvania, was a young lawyer in Targu Mures before engaging in the fight for the rights of Romanians living in Transylvania. The 2002 census was the first to show the Hungarians as a minority. The municipality of Targu Mures is officially bilingual, with both Romanian and Hungarian languages being recognised officially and used in public signage, education, justice and access to public administration.
