The Dej‘s Boroughs. (Abstract) The study aims to clarify on a wider documentary basis the exact time of the weekly and annual fairs and markets held in Dej and the surrounding area. Geographically speaking, Dej is close to Ocna Dej. These settlements are linked by their economic activities related to salt extraction, and in their everyday life the boroughs played a very important role. Dej had weekly fairs until 1517 on Wednesdays, and afterwards on Saturdays. Ocna Dej kept the weekly market until 1475 on weekends and afterwards on Tuesdays. The fairs held in these localities were markets in which they exchanged low value products, not exceeding a value of several dinars. On the occasion of such fairs, the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages used to meet, therefor, it was a place where, besides products, they also exchanged information. The right to hold annual fairs was granted in each case by the king, because it was a royal privilege. Annual fairs were organized and functioned according to the same basic rules as weekly fairs.
