Information

Ştei (Hungarian: Vaskohsziklás) is a town in Bihor County, western Transylvania, Romania. Between 1958 and 1990, it was named Petru Groza, after the Romanian socialist leader who had died earlier in the year.

The town was founded in 1952, nearby a village of the same name, as an industrial center for the grinding of uranium mined in nearby Băiţa (serving the intensive mining development set as an imperative by the Romanian Communist regime).
