Ţinutul Crişuri (or Ţinutul Someş) was one of the ten Romanian ţinuturi founded in 1938, after King Carol II initiated an institutional reform by modifying the 1923 Constitution and the law of territorial administration. It comprised part of Transylvania, and included the entire regions of Crişana and Maramureş. It was named after the rivers Crişul Alb, Crişul Negru, and Crişul Repede; its capital was the city of Cluj.

[edit] Coat of Arms
The Coat of Arms is composed of seven sinister bends, four of gules and three of azure, representing the former seven counties (judeţe) of the Greater Romania (71 in total in 1938) it included. Over the mirror bends there is a sable aurochs head (in reference to Voivode Dragoş of Maramureş, and to the symbol of Moldavia - see Flag and coat of arms of Moldavia).
[edit] Former counties incorporated
After the 1938 Administrative and Constitutional Reform, the older 71 counties lost their authority. The list below just helps drawing the map.
- Bihor County
- Cluj County
- Maramureş County
- Sălaj County
- Satu Mare County
- Someş County
- Turda County
In 1939 Turda County was ceded to Ţinutul Mureş in exchange for Năsăud County.
