During the time when Romania was a Kingdom, the county bearing the name of Târnava Mică was formed, around the homonymous river, in Transylvania, Here, Târnăveni (formerly Târnava-Sân-Martin) functioned as a county seat. In April 1912, Târnăveni is elevated to the rank of city, and advances to gas-powered street lighting. In the year 1918, more precisely on the day of December 1st, the Union of Transylvania to the Motherland was completed. In 1990, December 1st was selected to be the National Day of Romania. Between September and October 1944, the 82nd Infantry Regiment fought valiantly, in the Târnava Mică valley and on the hills around the city, against the German and Hungarian forces. After the Second World War, the established communist regime established an administrative reorganization and a specific socio-economic life for Târnăveni. The history of the city takes us back in time, in 1278, when it was first documented, although traces of human habitation have been found since the Neolithic. The prosperity of the city made its eastern neighbour, the adjacent village of Cuștelnic, to become part of Târnăveni in 2000, through local referendum.
