Snagov, Administrative commune in Ilfov County, Romania.
The commune of Snagov encompasses five distinct villages: Ciofliceni, Ghermănești, Snagov, Tâncăbești, and Vlădiceasca, situated 40 kilometers north of Bucharest.
The first written record of Snagov dates to 1408 during the reign of Mircea cel Bătrân, with archaeological evidence indicating human settlements from 400 BC.
Local artisans in Snagov maintain traditional practices including plant fiber braiding, pottery making, textile weaving, and fishing techniques passed through generations.
While Snagov functions as both a tourist and spa destination, the infrastructure has experienced a decline in maintenance and development since 1989.
The name Snagov originates from Slavic language, derived from the word 'sneg' meaning snow, reflecting the historical linguistic influences in the region.
