Moreni

Moreni (Romanian pronunciation: [moˈrenʲ]) is a municipality in Dâmbovița County, Muntenia, Romania, with a population of 15,472 as of 2021. The city is in the eastern part of the county, on the border with Prahova County. It is located 22 km (14 mi) east of the county seat, Târgoviște, and about 100 km (62 mi) north-west of Bucharest.

In 1861, Moreni became the first place in Romania (and third in the world) where oil was extracted.

Recently, an industrial park was built by the local authorities to encourage investment in the area.

The town is home to the Flacăra Moreni football club, which was founded by English and Dutch engineers from the local oil rig as Astra-Română Moreni in 1922. The home ground of the football team is the Flacăra Stadium, which holds 10,000 people.
