The process to populate the territory of the municipality dates back to antiquity. Historical, archival, statistical sources exploited in the context of this study, will enable the analysis of population dynamics in space and time. This dynamic and its indicators have undergone changes depending on political, social and economic factors. The most evidenced changes of the population dynamics and demographic indicators belong to the second half of the last century until today. During the communist regime the number of population was increased by 77.5 % from 1945 (the population was 3140 inhabitants). In 1989 the population reached 5573 people. Political, social and economic changes after 90s of the last century brought about negative changes in population dynamics.
