Navodari
Năvodari is a town in Constanţa county, Dobrogea, Romania, with a population of 32,400.
The name of the town means in Romanian "trawlers", hinting that it was originally a fishing village. The town developed during the communist regime as part of the industrialization program, being built here a phosphates factory in the 1970s, that poluted the Black Sea and the Lake Tasaul with toxic dumps. In the 1990s, the polution was greatly reduced as the factory was modernized.
