Împărţirea administrativ-teritorială a României

Vulcan este un municipiu din judeţul Hunedoara, situat în partea centrală a Depresiunii Petroșani, la poalele de nord-est ale Munților Vâlcan, pe râul Jiu de Vest, la 13 km sud-vest de municipiul Petroşani şi 102 km sud sud-est de municipiul Deva.

Istoric

Localitatea s-a format prin unirea satelor Crivadia și Vaidei care erau locuite de țărani veniți din Țara Hațegului. A fost menționată documentar pentru prima dată în 1462 ca așezare rurală cu numele Wolkan. Localitatea a fost devastată de turci în anii 1455 și 1787. Lângă cele două nuclee originare, începând cu 1857 s-a dezvoltat colonia de muncitori a Societăţii Transilvania de Vest pentru exploatarea cărbunelui. Până în anul 1870, când a fost construită linia de cale ferată Simeria - Petroşani, Vulcan a jucat rolul de centru economic şi administrativ al Văii Jiului.

În 1953, pe fondul redeschiderii minei şi construirii termocentralei Paroşeni, localitatea Vulcan a fost declarată oraș, având în subordine administrativă localitățile Dealu Babii și Jiu Paroșeni. În decembrie 2003 a fost declarat municipiu.

Demografie

La recensământul din 2002, populaţia Vulcanului era de 29.740 locuitori, iar la 1 ianuarie 2010 avea 28.352 locuitori, în scădere cu 4,6%.
