Ovidiu (Oraş Ovidiu)
In 1930, the town was renamed Ovidiu after the Roman poet Ovid. He was supposedly buried on a nearby small island (also called Ovidiu) in the Siutghiol Lake.
The town of Ovidiu administers the villages of Poiana (historical names: Cocoșul - until 1964, Horozlar - until 1926) and Culmea. The latter was established in 2011 by legally separating from Ovidiu two territorially distinct communities, Social Group Culmea and Social Group Nazarcea.
