Ip

Comuna Ip, cu o suprafata 60,13 km², se intinde in zona de contact a Depresiunii Plopis cu Colinele Toglaciului, pe valea larga a Barcaului. Cele cinci asezari ale comunei - Ip - sat resedinta de comuna situat la o distanta de 45 km fatade municipiul Zalau, Cosniciu de Jos, Cosniciu de Sus, Zauan si Zauan - Bai au o vechime considerabila, jucand roluri importante in istoria zbuciumata a regiunii.

Ip este o asezare deosebit de veche, prima insemnare despre localitate dateaza din anul 1208, in acea vreme fiind cunoscuta sub denumirea de villa Ypu. Cu exceptia localitatii Zauan Bai, atestata documentar abia in anul 1913, celelalte asezari ale comunei sunt atestate documentar pana in prima jumatate a secolului al XIV-lea (Cosniciu de Jos - 1213, Cosniciu de Sus - 1341, Zauan - 1249).

Agricultura este principala ramura economica a comunei. Locuitorii comunei Ip sunt recunoscuti ca fiind mari agricultori, remarcandu-se prin productiile mari de cereale, legume si nu in ultimul rand prin calitatea vinului produs in aceasta parte de tara. Beneficiind de importante rezerve de carbuni, comuna Ip, de-a lungul timpului, s-a facut cunoscuta ca fiind un important centru minier din nord-vestul tarii.

Atractia turistica a comunei o reprezinta izvoarele de ape minerale de la Zauan-Bai, ape sulfuroase recunoscute pentru efectele lor terapeutice. Alaturi de acestea, alte obiective importante ar fi monumentul inchinat Martirilor romani ucisi dupa ocuparea Transilvaniei de Nord - Vest in urma Diktatului de la Viena (In fiecare an, la monumentul inchinat celor 157 de victime ale masacrului de la Ip, se comemoreaza amintirea acestora si se condamna cu tarie proliferarea formatiunilor fasciste), biserica reformata din Ip, construita in secolul al XVI-lea, casa parohiala reformata, casa familiei Sebes (1854) si o casa datand din secolul al XIX-lea (Ip-nr. 332) din aceeasi localitate, biserica reformata din Zauan construita in anul 1680 la care se adauga cele trei case datand din secolul al XIX-lea, toate monumente de arhitectura cuprinse in patrimoniul cultural national, favorizeaza mentinerea comunei in randul ariilor de convergenta turistica. Interesul deschis al autoritatilor locale pentru dezvoltarea turismului si implicarea directa a locuitorilor, a dus la prezentarea localitatilor comunei ca popasuri obligatorii in circuitele turistice ale acestei regiuni.
