Mihail Kogălniceanu (Romanian pronunciation: [mihaˈil koɡəlniˈt͡ʃe̯anu]) is a commune in Constanţa County, Romania, and is located 25 km northwest of Constanţa proper. The commune includes three villages:

  • Mihail Kogălniceanu - historical names: Kara Murat (Turkish: Karamurat), Bulgari (Bulgarian: Българи) and Ferdinand I
  • Palazu Mic
  • Piatra (historical name: Taşaul, Turkish: Taşağıl)

The Mihail Kogălniceanu International Airport is located nearby.

History

The village is situated on the location of an Roman settlement called Vicus Clementianus, discovered by the archaeologist Vasile Pârvan in 1913.

In 1651, the place was mentioned by the Ottoman traveler Evliya Çelebi as a Tatar settlement named Kara Murat ("Black Murat", after its founder).

In 1879-1880, after the incorporation of Northern Dobruja into Romania, the village started to be settled by Romanian shepherds from Transylvania (mocani). In the 1930s it was re-baptized Ferdinand I, after King Ferdinand I of Romania. In 1948, with the advent of the communist regime, the commune was given its current name, after the Romanian politician Mihail Kogălniceanu.
