context_page_description: The following detailed sequence of events covers the timeline of Cluj-Napoca, a city in Transylvania, Romania.
  Cluj-Napoca, commonly known as Cluj, is located in the Someșul Mic River valley, roughly equidistant from Bucharest, Budapest and Belgrade. Throughout its long history, the area around Cluj-Napoca was part of many empires and kingdoms, including the Roman Empire, Gepidia, Avaria, the Hungarian Kingdom, the Habsburg Monarchy, Austria-Hungary and the Kingdom of Romania. From 1790–1848 and 1861–1867, it was the official capital of the Grand Principality of Transylvania.
  In modern times, the city holds the status of municipiu, is the seat of Cluj County in the north-western part of Romania, and continues to be considered the unofficial capital of the historical province of Transylvania. Cluj continues to be one of the most important academic, cultural, industrial and business centres in Romania. Among other institutions, it hosts the country's largest university, Babeș-Bolyai University, with its famous botanical garden. The current boundaries of the municipality contain an area of 179.52 square kilometres.
