Treznea ({{langx|hu|Ördögkút}}, lit. "The Devil's Fountain"; {{langx|de|Teufelsbrunnen}}) is a commune in Sălaj County, Crișana, Romania. It is composed of two villages, Bozna (Szentpéterfalva) and Treznea. These were part of Agrij Commune until 1995, when they were split off to form a separate commune.
Geography
The commune is situated in the foothills of the Meseș Mountains, at an altitude of {{cvt|304|m}}, on the banks of the river Treznea. It is located in the central-south part of Sălaj County, at a distance of {{cvt|14|km}} from the county seat, Zalău.
Treznea is crossed by county road DJ108R, which starts in Agrij and ends in a few miles in {{ill|DN1F|ro}} (part of European route E81), a road which connects Cluj-Napoca to Zalău, and continues to the Hungarian border near Carei.
History
The commune is the site of the Treznea massacre, which occurred on September 9, 1940, during the handing over of Northern Transylvania from Romania to Hungary, pursuant to the Second Vienna Award. The massacre, in which 87 ethnic Romanians and 6 Jews were killed, was perpretated by Hungarian Army troops with aid from some locals.{{cite web|url=http://adevarul.ro/locale/zalau/75-ani-masacrul-treznea-87-romani-6-evrei-ucisi-comanda-unui-mosier-maghiar-pe-fratele-2-ani-l-au-impuscat-primul-gura-1_55eee41bf5eaafab2c63a558/index.html|title=75 de ani de la masacrul de la Treznea: 87 de români și 6 evrei, uciși la comanda unui moșier maghiar.
