2. Sfântu Gheorghe is a commune located in Ialomita Country , Romania. It is
composed of three villages: Butoiu, Malu and Sfântu Gheorghe.
A commune (comună in Romanian) is the lowest level of
administrative subdivision in Romania. There are 2,686 communes in
Romania. The commune is the rural subdivision of a county. Urban
areas, such as towns and cities within a county, are given the status
of city or municipality.
3. In principle, a commune can contain any size population, but in
practice, when a commune becomes relatively urbanised and exceeds
approximately 10,000 residents, it is usually granted city status.
Although cities are on the same administrative level as communes,
their local governments are structured in a way that gives them more
power. Some urban or semi-urban areas of fewer than 10,000
inhabitants have also been given city status.
4. Each commune is administered by a mayor (primar in
Romanian). A commune is made up of one or more
villages which do not themselves have an administrative
function. Communes, like cities, correspond to the
European Union's level 2 local administrative unit (LAU).
5. The county is situated in the Bărăgan Plain, all the area is flat crossed by small
rivers with small but deep valleys.
Its east border is on Danube and the Ialomi aț River crosses the county from West
to East about the middle. The Danube is split around the Ialomi a Pond - the Oldț
Danube branch and the Borcea branch.
Until 1940 (in the West part) and 1967 (in the East part) the county/plain was
home of the great bustard (dropie in Romanian), with large populations of this bird.
The birds disappeared because of the massive village buildout and hunting them
for food.
