Geographical location
The municipality of Giurgeni is located in the extreme northeast of the Ialomița district. On the left bank of the Danube and on the European route European route 60 , the place Giurgeni is 22 kilometers northeast of the small town of Țăndărei ; the district capital Slobozia is located about 48 kilometers southwest of Giurgeni.
In the west of Giurgeni the wide plains of the Bărăgan steppe join. The huge municipality is very sparsely populated and consists only of the main town. Shortly before the village, the main arm of the Danube and the Borcea arm unite , before the Danube divides again a few kilometers downstream into the Cremenea arm and the Vâlciu arm .
history
Settlement of the region goes back to finds in the area of the place - called La Mozacu by the locals - back to the Bronze Age . Due to its location, the community has often been hit by severe floods; the worst of these occurred in 1970. In this natural disaster, the district of Piua Pietrii , which was in the area of the medieval town of Târgul de Ploci , was completely destroyed. According to many researchers, it was the hometown of the Romanian national hero Mihai Viteazul .
Today, the historical Ploci site is mainly used to excavate small decorative objects that are exhibited at the village festival.
economy
The most important industries in this rural region are cattle breeding and agriculture, with rice being grown in the wet Danube basin. Fishing and sports tourism are also the main sources of income for the municipality.
Due to the favorable sea connection over the Danube, further investors are to be attracted to the place in order to be able to finance various projects in the future. These include, for example, the expansion of the water supply and the construction of sports facilities and a rehabilitation center.
