Cegani

Cegani stands on the Borcea branch of the Danube, among the villages bordering the wetlands of Ialomița. Its name has been associated with the sterlet, a fish found in these waters. Documents mention the village repeatedly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and eighteenth-century maps also record it under forms such as Tegani. The surrounding floodplain supplied fisheries and pastures alongside the cultivated land of the settlement.
