In the past Micherechi belonged to Bihor region. The Hungarian historians say that the locality was almost empty in the Middle Ages. It was colonized with ortodox romans from other villages: Ianosda, Ciumeghi, Modars and Inand only in 1767. The first church from Micherechi was built in 1770 and it had a wooden tower. The new church was finished in 1849 but the tower was finished long time after in 1901. From 1815 in Micherechi was founded a confessional school. The school was taken in the state*s administration in 1948 and it became Romanian*s state school with classes in Romanian language. The oldest names and families from Micherechi are: Buta, Ruja, Marc, Rocsin, Ciote, Cosma, Gurzau, Herdean, Patcas. At the beginning the inhabitants of Micherechi were very poor because the land was not very good, but from 1980 they began to cultivate cucumbers and paprikas in the green houses. Nowadays this is the basic trade in the locality. In Micherechi there is a town hall, a house of culture, a library, an ortodox church, a Baptist church, a protestant church, two grave yards and a primary school with classes in Romanian languageand Hungarian language. In front of the ortodox church there is a monument dedicated to the heroes who died in the second world war. There also is a bust of Nicolae Balcescu and a monument of Stefan the Saint. The locality is very known because of its story teller Vasile Gurzau.
