  Abstract:  The Changes in the Ethnical Structure of the Population of Braşov Depression in the Past Century and a Half is about the three main ethnical groups dominating these parts for almost a millennium: The Romanians, The Hungarians and The Germans. During the period we studied, the Romanian population increased slowly until about 50 years ago when, as a result of the communist regime’s policy to strongly urbanize a part of the depression, it rised up suddenly, by mechanical way. The Hungarians kept their number on a natural way of evolution, although their weight in the total of the population dramatically decreased because of the enlargement of the Romanians’ number. Starting the World War Two, the number of the Germans decreased slowly until 1991, when, as a result of the opening of the borders, a big number of them have left for Germany and Austria. A substantial rise had the minority of the gypsies which doubled their number in the periods 1966 – 1992 and 1992 – 2002.
