Topoloveni (Romanian pronunciation: [topoloˈvenʲ]) is a town in Argeș County, Romania on the Cârcinov River. The town administers four villages: Boțârcani, Crintești, Gorănești, and Țigănești. It is situated in the historical region of Muntenia.
The oldest document in which Topoloveni is mentioned is dated 19 June 1421, during the rule of Radu II Chelul. Its name is derived from a Slavic word, topol, meaning "poplar".[2]
The town is known for the Magiun of Topoloveni, a traditional plum-based spread, which has held a Protected Geographical Status from the European Union since 2011.
The Topoloveni Airfield has one runway; it has no ICAO airport code, but the designation RO-0025 is used as reference.[3]
