Someş (Hungarian: Szamos) is one of the most important rivers of Transylvania. It flows through Romania and Hungary.
There are two headstreams, Someşul Mare (Hungarian: Nagy-Szamos), rising from the Rodnei Mountains (county Bistriţa-Năsăud) and Someşul Mic (Hungarian: Kis-Szamos), rising from the Apuseni Mountains (county Cluj), which is in turn formed by the confluence of another two rivers: Someşul Cald (Hungarian: Meleg-Szamos) and Someşul Rece (Hungarian: Hideg-Szamos).
The two streams meet at Dej and flow westward, through Satu Mare, to join the Tisza in Hungary, near Vásárosnamény.
Somes obtained the land for development on grants from Francis Bernard, the governor of Massachusetts; who, in 1761, still maintained an interest in securing the property for Great Britain.
Somes chose to establish a village at the North end of the fjord which cuts through the center of the island.
During the American Revolution, Abraham Somes served his native land and was a 1st Lieutenant in Ezra Young's 7 Co., 6 Lincoln Co., regiment of the MA Militia.
