About Galati
Galaţi (/ga’laʦʲ/, Turkish: Kalas; German: Galatz; Polish: Gałacz) is a city in eastern Romania (Moldavia), the capital city of Galaţi County on the banks of the Danube, very close to Brăila forming with it the Cantemir metropolitan area. In 2006, according to the official Romanian census, the city had a population of 295,000 people, making it Romania’s 7th largest city.
The name of the city appears to have derived from Cuman galat, which was borrowed from the Arabic qal’at (fortress). Also other etymologies were suggested, such as the Serbian galac; however the galat root appears in several nearby toponyms, some of which show clearly a Cuman origin, for example Gălăţui Lake, which has the typical Cuman -ui suffix for “water”. A derivation from Galatia (Gaul), suggesting a Celtic origin, is possible, but unlikely.
The first mention of the city dates from 1445. In 1789, during the Russo-Turkish War, Galaţi was burnt down by the Russian forces led by general Mikhail Kamensky.
Galaţi 1826
A peasant revolt took place in and around the city in 1907, but eventually it was crushed by the Romanian Army.
