Summary/Abstract: The author reviews the activity of Towns’ History Commission (CTHR) in its 20 years of existence. He has compared the objectives of the Commission for two decades with actual achievements. In this way, there can be seen both the realism of the Commission in the period it was created and the achievement of most of the initial plans. The most important achievement consist in the scientific works joint in the collection “Contributions to the history of the towns” as well as the periodicals “Historia Urbana” (journal) and “Information about the history of towns” (newsletter). There are also mentioned scientific conferences which were held annually. The author has emphasized a rich activity since the establishment of the Commission in 1992 up to the present. Among the last activities of CTHR stands out the setting up of a medal to be awarded annually, starting with 2014, to foster research in the field of towns’ history.
