The Economical Live of Halmágy in the First Part of the 20th Century
The village Halmagy situated in Braşov county, mostly inhabited by Hungarian people had a developing economical life that is also indicated by the three thresher associations founded at the beginning of the 20th century. Halmagy was sorely tried in the first part of this century: two World Wars, takeovers, economical and social changes, political convulsions influenced its life.In spite of these, the inhabitants of the village established a developed motorized agriculture through their persistent work. The decline of the village started in the 1950s when the socialist transformation, the collectivization of agriculture took place, and the agricultural co-operative farms were founded. There weren’t any means of subsistence so the young people started to migrate to towns.
