History


The earliest organization into "judete" was in the 15th century and each judet was ruled by a "jude", a person who had administrative and judicial functions. The modern administrative division into "judete" was done during the 19th century using the French departments system as an example: for each judet there exists a "prefect", who is the representative of the government to the county and the head of the local administration. Until 1948 each "judet" was divided into a number of "plasi" (singular "plasa"), with each administered by a "pretor" (from the Latin "praetor"), named by the "prefect".
