- Archival history:
- The fonds was originally held by the Popular Council of Satu Mare county and was transferred to the Satu Mare County division of the Romanian National Archives, where it was inventoried and made available to researchers.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- Between 1940 and 1944 Satu Mare county, including the district of Ugocea-Halmeu, was under Hungarian administration. In 1945, after the Romanian administration was reestablished, the county was divided into districts subordinated to the prefecture of the county, as the administrative model from the inter-war period was reintroduced. In 1948 the Communist regime abolished this structure and introduced Popular Councils above the counties, districts and localities (towns and villages). Until this reorganisation was finalised, so-called Interim Committees were installed, which had 3 members for each district and whose task it was to deal with all administrative problems of the district. The district of Ugocea-Halmeu included 16 localities at that time. The Interim Committees ceased their activity in 1950 with elections for the local administration and the installation of the Popular Councils, which functioned until the fall of communism in 1989.
