History

Oneşti, city, Bacău judeƫ (county), eastern Romania. The city was developed as a planned new town, begun in 1953 on the site of a 15th-century settlement. It was originally named for the communist leader Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej and was renamed Oneşti in 1996. It developed as a consequence of the oil, chemical, and industrial complexes in the Trotuş River valley, which includes the older settlements of Dărmăneşti and Târgu Ocna. The city has an oil refinery, and just southeast are chemical and synthetic rubber works and a thermoelectric power station that supplies the city. Pop. (2007 est.) 50,820.
