Din istoricul înfiinţării oraşelor din Ţara Românească în prima jumătate a secolului al XIX-lea
On the history of the establishment of towns in Wallachia in the first half of the 19th century

Summary/Abstract: The present study analyzes the process of the founding of new towns in Wallachia in the period between the adoption of the Organic Regulation in 1832, going until the establishment of the Union of Romanian Principalities in 1859. On the one hand, the new towns are discussed with regard to their emergence; on the other hand, the towns that appeared as a result of a long process of emancipation from private control are treated. Two events positively influenced this process: the provisions of the Russian-Turkish Peace Treaty in Adrianople and the measures taken following the adoption of the Organic Regulation. Significant changes can be seen from the economic, administrative, social, ethnic, as well as municipal point of view. These transformations are visible both in the case of the old reorganized towns and in the case of the new ones, which we are dealing in the present study. The freedom of trade of the Romanian Lands after 1829 largely influenced the development of new towns.
