Biography
View old mayors

For the first time, Bucharest was mentioned in documents in 1459. Then the town became the residence of the famous Wallachian ruler Vlad III the Impaler. During the reign of subsequent rulers, Bucharest was turned into a royal summer residence. In 1698 the city was declared a permanent location of the Wallachian Royal Court. In the next 200 years, several natural disasters have occurred, causing damage to the city, including a plague epidemic. The Habsburgs and the Russian Empire have several times conquered the city, with the city coming under the control of Russian administration. In March 1847, after an attack by an Austrian garrison, over a third of the city was devastated by fires. Over 2,000 buildings were destroyed. In 1862 Bucharest became the capital of the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, and in 1881 the Kingdom of Romania. During the First World War, the capital moved temporarily to the city of Iași, and after the war it was returned to Bucharest. For 200 years, the city was constantly growing and the population increasing.
