The Cugir River's old Magyar name is Kenyér (bread), which gave rise to the name Breadfield. The region's borders to the south are the Cugir Mountains, to the north the Mureș River, to the west Hunedoara County, and to the east the Sebeș River.

The area is a fertile plain. Formerly, Breadfield's population was largely Saxons, but today it is chiefly Romanians. In 1479 the Hungarians scored a victory over the Ottoman Army in the Battle of Breadfield, near Șibot. In remembrance of the victory, Stephen V Báthory built a chapel.
