Hamcearca


Hamcearca is a commune in Tulcea County, Northern Dobruja, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Balabancea, Căprioara, Hamcearca and Nifon.
The commune formerly included Taiţa village, mainly Russian-inhabited prior to 1877, but this had been depopulated by 1930.
Reportedly, the commune's name derives from Hamcerencu, the surname of the brothers who settled there around 1812.
