2.  Snagov (population: 6,041) is a commune, located 40 km
north of Bucharest in Ilfov County, Romania. According to
the 2002 census, 99.2% of the population is ethnic
Romanian. The commune is composed of five villages:
Ciofliceni, Ghermăneşti, Snagov, Tâncăbeşti and
Vlădiceasca. Snagov is a popular holiday resort, and many
villas have lately been built on the shores of Snagov lake.
 The name is of probably Bulgarian origin, from the word
sneg (meaning "snow"). It might also derived from the
Bulgarian snaga, meaning "human body".

4. HISTORY
Archeologists confirmed human presence of
inhabitants since 400 BC. Snagov village was built
around the Snagov monastery, founded in the late
14th century on an islet in Lake Snagov, about 2
km north of Snagov village. The first written record
of it is found in a document from the court of
Mircea cel Bătrân and dated 1408. Snagov
monastery was excavated in 1933 by archaeologist
Dinu V. Rosetti.[2]

5. Communist dictator Nicolae Ceauşescu and his
entourage used Snagov as a vacation retreat.
In 2002 the Romanian government decided to
build in Snagov a Disneyland-style theme park,
"Dracula Park", but in 2006 the government
canceled the project. The connection with
"Dracula" is due to a spurious 19th-century
tradition which makes Snagov monastery the site
of the tomb of Vlad III Dracula.
