List of Székely settlements
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following is a list[1] of Székely settlements. The list contains the municipalities belonging to the Székely Seats in the 19th century, before the administrative reform in Hungary. The Seats were the traditional self-governing territorial units of the Transylvanian Székely estate during medieval times. (Saxons were also organised in Seats.)
"Szék" in Hungarian means "Seat" or "Chair" - one explanation of the meaning of word "Székely" is "a person belonging to the Seat". The Seats were not part of the traditional Hungarian county system, and their inhabitants enjoyed a higher level of freedom (especially until the the 16th century) than those living in the counties.

The list also fails to cover those settlements that were originally part of the Székely Seats but gave up, or lost their freedom before the 19th century.
