Historyedit
The first document that mentioned Țara Oașului dates from 1270, when the King of Hungary donated to a nobleman several villages from the southwestern boundary of the "country". In that document, Țara Oașului is mentioned as Terra Awas. Some historians claim that the origin of the word "Oaș" is the "Awas", which means a kind of deforestation or a clearing in the woods.
Țara Oașului was mentioned in the Chronicles [ro] of Grigore Ureche.
