Alongside the county structure, Romania is also divided into eight development regions, which correspond to NUTS-II divisions in the European Union, but which have no administrative capacity and are instead used for co-ordinating regional development projects and statistical purposes. The country is further subdivided into 2686 communes, which are rural localities, and 265 towns. Communes and towns have their own local councils and are headed by a mayor (primar). Larger and more urbanised towns gain the status of municipality, which gives them greater administrative power over local affairs. __________________________________________________________________
Galati is a county (judet) of Romania, in Moldavia region, with the capital city at Galati. History Historically Galati is part of Moldavia. In 1858, it was represented by Alexandru Ioan Cuza at the ad hoc Divan at Iasi, in the wake of the Crimean War. Prior to 1938 what is now eastern Galati was the separate county of Covurlui (Judetul Covurlui). From 1938 to 1945 Galati was part of Tinutul Dunarii (Megacounty Dunarii).
