Early Bacău History

St. Ilie Church

 

The earliest known reference to the city dates from 1408 during the rule of Alexandru cel Bun.

The etymology is unclear, but one possibility is being derived from the name of a legendary medieval Hungarian innkeeper, Bakó, who, supposedly, had an inn on the current road from Bacău to Roman; around this inn houses began to be build, from which the town of Bacău was formed.

A second etymology, still legendary, presents it as being derived from the name of the Greek god Bacchus.

Another theory suggests that the name may have a slavic origin, pointing to the pre-slavic word "bīc", which means "ox", or "bull", the region being very suitable for raising cattle; the term "bīc" has changed later into "bīcau", the name by which the town is mentioned in some feudal documents.
During WWI and the occupation of Wallachia by the Germans, Bacău was the headquarters of the Romanian Army.
