Some 300 m from the Danube, there was also a hamlet called Flămânda, inhabited by some 30 Boyash and 5-6 Romanian families. The hamlet has been depopulated since 1962, when the Danube swallowed it up and the inhabitants moved to Prundu village.[2][3]. The hamlet was the starting point of the Flămânda Offensive by the Romanian Army against the Central Powers in World War I.
