- Archival history:

- Administrative/biographical history:
- The district of Ilia was organised in the framework of Hunedoara county in accordance with the administrative law from 1876 issued by the Hungarian Parliament. This system of local administration functioned until the end of the First World War. After the First World War the Romanian administration reorganised the counties and districts by the law of administrative unification from 1925 which established 13 districts in Hunedoara county, one of which was Baia de Criş which included 48 villages. It had a district court with three judges, a public notary, an agricultural service and statistical office. During the Second World War the institutions of the district were in charge of implementing the antisemitic restrictions and extortions of the Antonescu dictatorship. After 1945 the interwar system was reestablished until 1949 when the Communist regime introduced a new local administrative organisation with so-called Popular Councils, which functioned until the fall of Communism in 1989.
