Mihăilești

Mihăilești is a town located in Giurgiu County, Muntenia, Romania. It administers three villages: Drăgănescu, Novaci, and Popești. It officially became a town in 1989, as a result of the Romanian rural systematization program. The town stands beside the river Argeș, which at this point is dammed, forming a lake about 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) long. The lake was created as part of the Danube–Bucharest Canal project and feeds a hydro-electric plant. At the 2021 census, Mihăilești had a population of 7,760; of those, 84.34% were Romanians and 2.18% Roma.
