Summary/Abstract: At the Congress of Berlin of 1878, Romania came into full possession of Dobrogea, an old Romanian province that had long been ruled by the Ottoman Empire. Its takeover represented a major challenge for the country’s leadership and for the Romanian political class, in general. One of the most important local leaders of Constanța County was Remus Opreanu, who was appointed prefect of the county immediately after the takeover. He proved to be a remarkable personality of that period, possessing genuine administrative and organizational skills. His name is associated with numerous modernization projects of the province of Dobrogea, in general, and of Constanța County, in particular: legislative, urban, confessional, cultural, etc. He represented a symbol of the stability, progress and democratization of the heterogeneous ethnic space of Dobrogea.
