- Administrative/biographical history:
- In 1876, when Bistriţa-Năsăud county was established, Rodna was one of the component six districts. The administration was reorganised in 1886 to four districts, including Rodna, but it was abolished in 1925 when the new Romanian system returned to six districts. In 1931, however, the county was reorganised into four districts, with Rodna among them, including 10 localities. Between 1940 and 1944 the Hungarian administration was re-established. In 1948, according to the new administrative organisation, Rodna district included 25 localities.
