The history of Cluj-Napoca dates back to Roman times. A milestone from the Roman period discovered in 1758 shows that the settlement of Napoca has been established since Roman times.
Cluj-Napoca was a site of rebellion during the Roman Revolution of 1989 which claimed the lives of 26 people and injuring some 170. After the fall of totalitarian rule, Cluj-Napoca was governed by Gheorghe Funar, whose 12-year tenure was marked by ethnic provocation against the Hungarian-speaking minority, resulting in a decline in foreign investment. When he was voted out of office, there was a turn around in economic growth.
