BRAILA COUNTY
HISTORY
Documentary attested at 20th January 1368, Braila, placed in a generous natural
frame, in the close proximity of the Danube River, had become famous, in a short time,
as a very important trade center, a connection place where the products transported by
the ships of the harbors of the Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea coasts meet the
western products sailed
here, especially by the
Brasov merchandisers.
This fact is mentioned
also by the Greek
chronicler
Laonic
Chancocondil in 1462,
with the occasion of the
Mahomet the Second’s
expedition against to
Vlad Tepes – the Ruler
of Wallachia, when he
wrote about Braila “as a
Dacian
people
city,
where these Dacian
people trade more than
in all the country’s cities”.
The importance of the great Danube’s harbor is also proved by the fact that the
numerous commercial ways which connect it to the different areas and cities in
Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania, were named “the Braila’s road or Braila’s
way”. Great economic center, the Braila locality was entered in the Ottoman Empire’
expansion area, as a result of its special strategically position, being in border area
between the two Romanian countries;
More than that, it could be established a
connection bridge with the Dobrudja – a territory being under Ottoman domination, and
the presence here of a military garrison would discouraged the independence intensions
of the Romanian leaders. After that, in 1538, occasioned by the expedition against to
Petru Rares – the Moldavia sovereign, Braila is occupied by the Turks and two years
later, and as a results of a polish document – in this place was built a brick-wall fortress.
Although, being under the Ottoman monopoly, the economic life continued to
evolve, Braila becoming the supplies point for the Empire capital, and the increased
incomes obtained from the different commercial activities did not fill the country treasury
but amount to the sultan and his high officials.
After 289 years of ottoman domination, Braila is reintegrated to Wallachia, as a
result of the Russian-Turkish War between 1828-1829, agreed by signing the Treaty of
Peace from Adrianopole - 2/14 September 1829. The development document of the V
treaty’s article stipulates that the Turkish fortresses placed on the left side of the
Danube River, together with the islands afferent of this bank, will be returned to
Wallachia, the Danube thalweg following to become the border with the Ottoman
Empire. Also, by this treaty was mentioned the sailing liberty on the Danube River and
the Black Sea, that means the removal of the Ottoman domination on the Romanian
1
merchandises. As a consequence, from the economic point of view, Braila locality
plunged more than ever in its history, advancement also sustained by the getting of
Porto- Franco statute in 1836.
The intensive commercial
transactions in the harbor as well
as the possibility to achieve an
increased and rapid incomes
attracted
many
foreign
merchandisers
Bulgarians,
Macedonians, Albanians, Greeks
but
also
French,
Belgium,
Austrians, Italians, Jews and many
others Transylvanian people, Braila
becoming thus a multiethnic entity.
In short time, Braila was able to
adjudge the challenge with its neighbor – Galati city, and more than that, to compete
with Odessa, due to, one hand, its special profile - the cereals export and the other
hand to its clever capability to develop the railway network.
A part of the incomes provided by the commercial activities was used both for
reconstruction and modernization of the city and also for the extension of the harbor
capacity by the city authorities.
Although, the Porto-Franco Statute was
eliminated, the harbor continuities its ascendant
evolution, registering, in 1911, the highest export value,
because of the large modernization works of harbor
equipment and the docks construction, that included a
whole entire complex of quays, berths, silos and
storages, oil tanks, railways, roads, as well as a
roadstead for winter time.
In 1830, was registered the first rehabilitation plan of the city, its limits being
marked along of the actual Al.I.Cuza boulevard. Also, in 1898, was published the Braila
locality town-planning by J.Dufour – the Chief Engineer of the city. Between these
periods of time, we can notice that Braila extended to the Dorobantilor Boulevard.
The specific norms used for buildings construction (- the buildings had to be
achieved only in accordance with the approved plans, in the central areas the buildings
had to be exclusively from brick and to have a specific façade), the public parks and
markets’ marking, streets pavement, the achievement of sewerage network and drinking
water supply system, innovation of a modern means of transport – the electrical tram
(Braila was the first Romanian city to have electric trams), solving the problem of the
street and domestic enlightening by electrical network, all of these mentioned facts are
only a few achievements of the local authorities, Braila of the XX century’s beginning
being as a city of European dimensions.

the Romanian Plain, having an area of 4,765.8 km2, which
represents 2% of Romania’s total surface
and including a part of the Inferior Siret
River meadow, a part of the Baraganului
Plain, a small parts of the Salcioara Plain
and The Buzau Plain. In the East part,
Braila County includes the Great Island of
Braila.
Coordinates:
28o 10’ eastern longitude: extreme point – Frecatei commune;
27o 5’ western longitude: extreme point – Galbenu commune;
45o 28’ northern latitude: extreme point – Maxineni commune;
44o 44’ southern latitude: extreme point – Ciocile commune.
•

•
The Braila County is bordered by: Galati County in the Northern side, Tulcea
County in the Eastern side, Ialomita County at the Southern side and the Buzau County
in the Western side.
Braila county surface is about 4.766 km2, its capital being the Braila
Municipality.

b) RELIEF
•
The Braila County, being placed in plain, has a relief generally homogeneous,
the only ground variations in level being the running waters, tablelands and
lacustrian depressions.

•
•
•
•
•
•
The Braila hydrographical network is characterized by a temperate-continental
climate and the relief formed by field’s relative plate that contains large valleys
and closed depressions, with temporary or permanently lakes.
The most important hydrographical resource of the county is the Danube River,
with two main branches: Macin Branch (Old Danube) towards Dobrudja and
Cremenea Branch, towards Braila’s plain, closing in the middle the Former
Braila’s Pond, that today is dyked.
The Danube has a very economic importance, both from Braila’s municipality
water supply point of view and of the irrigations systems.
• The Siret River bordered the northern part
of Braila County to Galati County, on a
length of 50 kilometers. On the right side, at
Voinesti, has as tributary the Buzau River
that flows the Braila county territory on a
length of 126 kilometers.
• Between Jugureanu and Gura Calmatui, on
a length of 84 kilometers, The Calmatui
River flows in the Braila county territory,
which is, most of it, arranged for irrigations.
In Braila county, are present both steppe lakes and river meadow lakes. A first
category is that of the lakes cantoned in the large loess settlement depressions
or tablelands (Ianca -332 hectares, Plopu -300 hectares, Lutul Alb-357 hectares).
Another category of lacustrian basins is formed by the river limans (Jirlau -1086
hectares, Caineni -74 hectares, Ciulnita -92 hectares).
The meander lakes and that of abandoned branch are present especially in the
Danube river meadow (Blasova -400 hectares, Japsa Plopilor -76 hectares), on
the Calmatui terrace (Sarat Batogu, Bentu Batogu) as well as in the vicinity of
Braila (Lacu Sarat).
The waters of the following lakes: Lacu Sarat - Braila, Sarat Batogu, TataruCiineni and Movila Miresii, have therapeutically effects, Lacu-Sarat and Ciineni
being declared watering and climatic resorts.
The lakes Jirlau, Ciulnita, Lutul Alb, Plopu, Ianca and Blasova are arranged for
pisciculture. In Braila County there are also artificial lakes used for fishing or
irrigations: Maxineni, Gradistea, Insuratei, Ulmu and Brotacelul.
Also, there are accumulation lakes as: Galbenu and Satuc lakes in the Valea
Boului River, as well as Mircea Voda on Buzoel Nord, its water are used for
irrigations.
c) CLIMATE
•
•
•
•
•
•
Climate is temperate-continental, slightly excessive in the west and moderate in
the Siret River Meadow and Great Island of Braila.
Being placed close to the Black Sea, Braila county has an annual average
temperatures about 10oC (1.5oC higher then the rest of the plain).
The annual average temperature is about 10.5 oC, maximum value registered in
1951, being of 44.5 oC, and the minimum value decreasing to - 30 oC (in 1942).
The annual relative humidity of the air reaches to over 72%, in the winter
exceeding 80%, while in the summer it represents 65%.
The annual rainfall is reduced (with an average of 456 l of water/m2) and in the
summer it has a torrential character.
The annual quantity of rainfall does not cover the necessary quantities to get
increased agricultural productions, the water deficit being covered by irrigations.

d) NATURAL RESOURCES
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The underground resources are formed by the liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons’
resources contains in: Ianca, Bordei Verde, Ulmu and Jugureanu areas.
Loess deposits constitute the raw material for inferior ceramics and the
therapeutically mud of the salty lakes are the basis of the balneal treatment.
Chernozem soils represent 75% of Braila county surface.
In the plane areas, where the water stagnated as a result of the hydrostatical
level increasing,
were formed depression zones with swamps that by draining
works were introduced gradually to agricultural sector in order to arrange natural
pastures. There were dammed the following areas: Calmatui-Gropeni, BrailaDanube-Siret, Maxineni, Great Island of Braila, those surfaces are more than
over 119.000 hectares. Only the Great Island of Braila has 60.160 hectares,
ground saved to the periodically floods of the Danube.
The agricultural lands form over 84% from the
whole surface of Braila County.
Braila county has a flora specific to the plain
area (95% cultures and small surfaces of
pastures).
The arborescent vegetation is relatively less
represented.
The forests are spread on a surface of 22.600
hectares, most majorities being river meadow forests. Thus, in the Small Island
of Braila- more than 5460 hectares, we can see willow and poplar forests. In the
interior river meadows, on about 1500 hectares, there are forests formed by
poplars, willows and acacia trees, oaks and other species of trees.
The county flora is completed with halophyte vegetation (salty sedge, Halimane
pedunculata, small salty vegetation) specific to the salty soils, as well as with
underwater vegetation found especially in the ponds and lakes of the Danube
flooded areas.
• Fauna is represented by animals and sedentary
birds and also migratory birds.
• In the natural reservation from
Small Island of Braila found a
specific delta fauna: different
species of ducks, geese,
herons, seagulls, lapwings, small snipes, woodcocks, moor hens, swans.
Ichthyofauna is represented by native fishes (carps, sheat fishes, pike perches,
tench, pikes, crucian carps, barbels, bleaks, popes) as well as migratory fishes
that are multiplied in the Danube River (sturgeons, Huso huso, sterlets,
mackerels).
In the present, flora and fauna specific to the steppe area, that are dominant in
the Baraganului Plain, are extremely modified. In these conditions, were
protected some areas, placed on the Calmatui River’s bank, a part of Lacu Sarat,
Movila Miresii Salty Lake, places where the natural ecosystems will be preserved
in the specific conditions.
With the same purpose, The Small Island of Braila was declared natural
reservation.
Here and also in the Blasova Lake surroundings, we can observe many birds that
in the past form the Braila Pond’s ornithofauna, species of birds preserved now a
days, as follows: white small egret, spoonbill, red heron, grey heron.

In the northern-eastern part of Braila Pond’s, is placed "Popina Blasova", with a
height of 45 m, formed by old formations, identically with those from the northern
Dobrudja. On this rock that was declared in 1994 as a natural monument are
found flowers similar with those from Macin Mountains (bell flowers, milfoil with
yellow flowers and others).
Also, Viisoara Forest will be preserved, especially for grey oak tree.

the project itself – the one of a sculpture of urban integration.
The charming mobile well of the artist combines the Antique
tradition, the Renaissance one and the Enlightenment of the
water games. Neoconstructivism, kinetic art, optical art,
programmed art, new materials, all of that mentioned work
towards to achieve a sculpture with large dimensions and
also a monumental working art that we may pass by every day.
 Mihai Eminescu Street - represents The Old
Royal Street, which today has a same name as the
Luceafar’s authors. It constitutes the Braila’s
promenade. The old architecture of the city tries to
survive: columns, little attics, gables, windows,
balconies, iron works in such a real diversity so that the
mind carries on you, with pride, to the recent city’s
statute of town-planning reservation.Although was
renovated in most part, it still maintains the cosmopolite
time perfume of the XIXth century beginning.

BRAILA FREE ZONE
Braila Free Zone - was established by the Decision no.
330/ 1994 of the Romanian Government (changed and
completed by the Decisions no. 478/ 1999 and no. 535/ 2000 of
the Romanian Government), in order to promote the international
exchanges and to attract the foreign capital for introduction of
the new technologies as well as for the using possibilities’s
increasing of national economy’s resources. Braila Free Zone
has 4 perimeters, also having a harbour area:
Site no. 1 - covering a 67.8 hectares area, directly opened to the maritime
Danube and to the railway system, is located in the
downstream berth area. Ideally, it can be developed as a grain
or container terminal, probably the only one of this type on the
Danube between Wien and the Black Sea. The seagoing ships
that land or operate at this front have an 8,750 dwt average
capacity. The operating sector has five-ton shore-cranes,
storage and processing platform. The rail access is ensured
from the switch yard which serves the whole port area. The
site is meant for industry activities: food processing,
woodworks, textiles, footwear, construction materials, finishing
and packing operations for metalware, crude and fuel oil
storage, etc. Now, in these perimeter run (storage and
production)
two
enterprises:
S.C.
ROMANEL

having leased a surface of about 71,000 m2, on a period of time of 50 years.
Site no. 2 - with a total surface of 272.000 sqm, placed
in tha Varsatura area, and is totally under concession of SC
LEX CONSULTIG SRL. In this site an important plant (flouring
mill and bread manufacturing), aiming at S-E Romania market,
is currently under construction.
Site no. 3 - with 7.01 ha area,
is located right in the heart of Braila
city, between the Harbour Station and
the Fishery where the sea-going
ships berths operate. The platform has a rail network
disposed between the Debarcaderului Street and the quay
serves the berth operation fronts from the dock basin. Cargo
work of sea-going/river ships and waggons is carried out
either by floating equipment or by mobile equipment on the
access platform to the ships. The site provided with modern
facilities offers for offices, covered warehouses and platforms
for container storage. Light industry, storage services,
wholesale and retail trade, catering and banking operations
are the main activities carried out in this site. By the effective
presence of Braila Free Zone representative, Frontier Police, and General Department
of Customs, the access inside the perimeter is possible round the clock.
23
Site no. 4 - covers 4.18 hectares’ areas and it is
located in the maritime berth area. The access is facilitated
through several transport ways: maritime and river due to the
opening to the Danube, rail and road due to the proximity of
22 National Road from Tulcea to Braila and Ramnicu Sarat
and 2B National Road from Bucharest to Braila and Galati.
This site is fully leased by SNP PETROM Braila branch and
it is meant to activities such as fuel and oil products storage,

By the modernization of Ianca Airport’s infrastructure, having a length of 2,500
meters, a width of 80 meters and with concrete track, it is intended to facilitate the
commercial traffic of passengers and cargo.
The airport has of its own railway, with grade for cargo - which derives from
railway line CF 700 Galati - Faurei, Dedulesti station placed at 10 km, at 2 km from the
DN 2B, at 53 km from DN2.
The social-economic development of Braila County and of the border counties,
also the fact that in 2007 our country will be a member of the European Union,
determine to us to take action regarding the airport infrastructure that may become the
air gate of the Eastern limit of EU, assuring possibilities of economic and tourist
exchanges.
The financial support is necessary for the bringing of Ianca Airport according to
the regulations of the International Organization of Civil Aviation, by building the

4. Zonal Water Supply System for the localities placed in the Southern side of
Braila County
Braila county territory is very poor by the meaning of drinking water supply
resources.
Underground water resources, both the phreatic ones and those placed in the
small and medium depth does not satisfy the potability conditions established by STAS
1342.
The areas where were identified underwater drinking water resources supplies,
most the time, small debits (1-3 dm3/s). The exceptions are only the drilling systems
placed at the confluence of Danube River and Siret River, at the confluence of Calmatui
River with Danube River, those situated in the Jirlau Lake’s area and also those from
the Northern-Eastern side of the Great Island of Braila, with various debits between 610 dm3/s.
In order to know the potential of the underground water resources from the
Braila County area, the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology elaborated,
between 1987 –1989, a hydrogeologycal global study, inventorying all drilled or digged
wells in phreatic or depth horizon, executed across the years.
Studying the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology’s study, that
confirms, in 95% of cases, the real situation in the field, we conclude that, for the
studied area, the underground resources can not assure the necessary water supplies
for the localities placed in the Southern part of Braila County.
Compared with the presented situation, results that the only safe source for
water supply of the 24 localities, situated in the Southern limit of Braila county, is the
Danube River, within a mini-zone system, made of:
- catching from the Danube River, at km. 228 + 300 (closed to the confluence of the
main branch of the Danube with the secondary branch Manusoaia and also with the
Calmatui River);
- water treatment station, placed on a platform situated in the joint area of the defense
dam against the flooding from the Danube – Gura Calmatui sector till the Spiru Haret
terrace;
- main adduction;
- secondary adduction.
Due to the localities placement, to the served consumers’ structure (population
and animals) as well as of the ground level differences (between the water treatment
station CTS = 11,00M and Ciocile commune CTN = 50,0M), the drinking water
transportation will be accomplished in two stages:
I - water treatment station = Baraganu complex
II - Baraganu complex - Ciocile - Dudesti - Zavoaia
The distribution networks from the localities conected to this zone minisystem,
will be executed of PEHD pipes, Pn. 6, with Dn. 110 (Di=90). Total length of these
networks is about 95.5 km.
The achievement of the zonal water supply system South – Braila, requires an
important investment effort. Without the necessary water for the ordinary human
activities, the area is convicted to stagnation and regress.

Near by the above mentioned infrastructure projects, the Braila county
also offers many other investment possibilities:
INDUSTRY
- the development of the industry of paper and plastic packing; this kind of industry is in
accordance with the new tendencies, that of recipients with unique using, and the raw
material for the paper products is made at Celhart Donaris S.A. Braila, on the same
platform existing unused areas;
- leisure and service boats construction; Braila Shipyard
owns the necessary production capacities and also the
specialized labor force that permit the development of
such an activity;
- the production of agricultural equipment for small and
medium land surfaces; the technological process of S.C.
PROMEX S.A could be adapted in order to produce
such equipment, here existing an important designing
center of the necessary specialized labor force.
- garment and fabrics production;
- bricks and store tiles production; the loess's existence in the area, the main raw
material for these products means low production costs;
- leather industry: now, in the area, the leathers resulted from
slaughtering are not processed, while the breeding activity is
continuously developing and the leather processing is not
integrated into the production process;
- re-establishment of the osier cultures and the wickerwork’s
revival and also the production of small osier and club rush
furniture.
AGRICULTURE
Through its own agricultural potential (the existence of
the biggest agricultural surface in Romania, situated in
the Great Island of Braila, having a land surface of about
60,000 hectares, entirely irrigated), the Braila County
offers many investment opportunities:
- breeding: the production valorization is favorable, on the
internal and external market; there are modern but
unused buildings, in the field of suine and cow breeding;
- horticulture development, mainly the ecological one; the
establishment and the development of gross market for the horticultural products;
- restructuring and development of fishing activities: in the county territory there are
many lakes and ponds that could be rearranged as piscicultural exploitations: the seed
beds Maxineni and Jirlau, the fishing lakes: Movila
Miresii, Plopu, Gradistea, Vultureni, Zavoaia, Batogu,
Chioibasesti, Coltea and Tataru;
- vegetables, fruits, milk and cereals’ processing
activities and also the establishment of a terminal for
cereals;
- briquetting of the waste cereals (their transforming into
a fuel with high caloric power);
31
- the establisment of small stocking and processing capacities for fodders;
- the breeding of exotic or rare birds and animals (pheasants, quails, ostriches);
- silkworm breeding - an activity extremely profitable that supposes the re-stablishment
of mulberry plantations on the existing salt soils, Braila County having an important
tradition in this field of activity;
- mushrooms cultures; this product is not sufficient; the demand on
the market being partially covered, at high prices;
-establishment of green houses for vegetables and flowers;
- the valorization of the thermal springs and other thermal
resources.
TOURISM
Braila County, although it is not placed in a region of great tourist importance,
it still offers various possibilities to develop of some active partnerships, due on the one
hand to its natural resources and, on the other hand, to its opening to the Danube River.
Thus, the following investments are considered to be necessary:
- reentering the Caineni Bai Resort in the tourist circuit, a resort of county interest,
located in the Visani commune’s area;
- including the Movila Miresii’s lake in the tourist circuit; this lake is placed at 30 km
from Braila municipality, next to the commune with the same name;
- valorization of the Blasova and Zaton lakes, both of them being placed in the Great
Island of Braila.
“ZATON” LAKE
The project description:
- development of the Braila touristic potential, based on
the existent natural resources, through the environment
preservation;

generated by the existance of a meander lake having a specific flora and fauna.
The project will answer to the following identified needs:
- inexistance of a proper access way;
- inexistance of the urban water supply networks, electrical power and communication
systems;
- inexistance of the specific arrangements for a leisure resort;
- lack of the area promotion.
Now, Zaton Lake is used for fishing, only by the local inhabitants.
The projects idea is based on the fact that the surrounding
area of the Zaton Lake (450 hectares) has been passed in the
public property of the Braila County Council by the Decision
no. 2158/ 9.12.2004 of Romanian Government, doing possible
the infrastructure’s rehabilitation.
