Pojorâta ( or Poschoritta or Pojoritta) is a commune located in the western part of Suceava County, in the historical region of Bukovina, northeastern Romania. With a surface area of 13,770 hectares, it comprises the villages of Pojorâta (as its chief commune) and Valea Putnei ().

History

Moldavia (1388–1775) Habsburg Monarchy (1775–1804) Austrian Empire (1804–1867) Austria-Hungary, Cisleithania (1867–1918) Kingdom of Romania (1918–1947) Romanian People's Republic (1947–1965) Socialist Republic of Romania (1965–1989) Romania (1989–present)

As it is the case of other former mining rural settlements from Suceava County, Pojorâta was previously inhabited by a sizeable German community, more specifically by Zipser Germans (part of the larger Bukovina German community) during the modern period up until the mid 20th century, starting as early as the Habsburg period and, later on, the Austro-Hungarian period.
