Maramureș, Historical region in northern Romania and western Ukraine.
The Maramureș area extends across 10,000 square kilometers of valleys enclosed by the Oaș, Gutâi, Țibleș, and Rodnei mountains in the Carpathians.
The region functioned as a Romanian voivodeship within the Kingdom of Hungary from 1343 until 1402, when it transformed into Máramaros County.
The population includes Romanian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, and Rusyn communities, each maintaining their languages, traditions, and customs across the territory.
Mountain passes connecting Maramureș to neighboring regions become difficult to traverse during winter months due to high elevation and weather conditions.
The nameși system granted free peasant status to residents of mountain villages, creating a distinct social structure different from other medieval European regions.
