Strejnicu is a significant and growing community in Prahova County, located just west of the city of Ploiești in southern Romania. It is most famous for the Strejnicu Airfield, which serves as a major hub for general aviation, sports flying, and flight training in the country. Geographically, the settlement lies in the fertile Ploiești Plain, part of the larger Wallachian Plain, where agriculture has traditionally flourished alongside the region's vast oil industry. In recent years, Strejnicu has undergone a rapid transformation into a high-end residential suburb, attracting professionals from the nearby industrial sectors. The town's economy is highly integrated with that of Ploiești, but it also hosts its own logistics and service companies. Historically, the area gained somber notoriety in 1940 as the site of the assassination of the renowned Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga by legionary forces. Today, the commune is characterized by modern housing developments, expanded public utilities, and a lively community life centered on its aviation heritage. Its location provides easy access to the main national roads leading to Bucharest and the Carpathian Mountains.
