Wallachian Plain.
The first documentary attestation of the town appears in a diploma issued by Sigismund of Luxembourg, King of Hungary, on the occasion of the battles fought here in 1394. The fortress belonged to the Ottoman Empire, intermittently, between 1417 and 1829, being a Turkish raya. During the Iancu Jianu's hajduk raids against the Vidin pasha Osman Pazvantoğlu, the fortress was burned and destroyed. After the Russo-Turkish War of 1828–1829, the town became part of Wallachia, as a result of the Treaty of Adrianople. After 1829, the locality was relocated on a nearby hill, near the localities of Odaia and Măgurele, and the fortress was demolished. Turnu Măgurele was the residence of Teleorman County from 1839 to 1950, and once again from 1952 until 1968, when, following Romania's administrative reorganization of that year, it lost the status of county residence in favor of the city of Alexandria.
The communist urban systematization had a major impact on the town's urban planning and the establishment of the Chemical Fertilizer Plant (1962) transformed the city into an industrial one. Forced urbanization caused the city's population to grow substantially to reach almost 37,000 in 1992.
After the 1989 Revolution, the municipality suffered a sharp decline as a result of the collapse of industrial and economic activities and the migration of the population to the larger cities as well as to other European states.
