From the Wikipedia Histria or Istros was founded as a Greek colony or polis on the western coast of the Black Sea near the mouth of the Danube whose banks are today about 70 km away. In antiquity, it also bore the names Istropolis, Istriopolis, and Histriopolis or simply Istros/Histros. It is now located on the inland shore of a Black Sea lagoon, Lake Sinoe, north of Năvodari and near the modern town of Istria, province of Dobruja, Romania. It may be considered the first urban settlement on today's Romanian territory.
