Constanța Region
region in People's Republic of Romania
Regiunea Constanța (Constanța Region) was one of the 1950 new administrative Soviet-style divisions of the People's Republic of Romania.
History
The seat of the region was Constanța, and at first, its territory comprised an area a bit larger than the nowadays Constanța County. In 1952, it included the Fetești raion of the dissolved Ialomița region, that was later (1960) incorporated into the București region. In 1960 it merged with the South-Eastern raions of the Galați region to form Dobrogea region, comprising the area of the nowadays Constanța and Tulcea counties (Northern Dobruja).

Why this record matters
“Constanța Region” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Constanța, Region and region provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5163910. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1950, 1952, 1960 and 1968.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
