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).
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.
