Călărași appeared for the first time in 1700 on a map drawn by Constantin Cantacuzino.
Florenţa Albu (December 1, 1934, Florica, Ileana, Călărași - February 3, 2000 Bucharest) was a Romanian poet.
Currently, the main road connection between Bucharest and Constanta is done via the A2 motorway, opened between 2004 and 2009, while Călărași is served through an exit from the same motorway at Drajna.
