History

The first mention of Știuca dates back to 1585, but it is about praedium or terra Stukatth and not about a cohesive locality.[2] The village was practically founded by German settlers between 1784–1787. They named it Ebendorf, a name it bore until 1901. The German settlers came from various regions, the first being from Luxembourg, followed by those from Württemberg, Bavaria and Austria. Slovaks and Germans from Bohemia later settled. Through school and church, through mixed marriages, the Slovaks were assimilated over time by the German population. The Știuca–Sălbăgel estate was once owned by the barons of the Brukenthal house. In 1786, 60 families of 214 people, mostly from Luxembourg, settled in Știuca. From 1867, during the Hungarian administration, the village was named Csukás. Since 1919 the village is called Știuca. Starting in 1966, Ukrainians from Maramureș County, which currently represents the majority of the population, began to settle in Știuca. Most ethnic Germans emigrated to the FRG in 1990.[3]
