The present study aims to review and analyze the elements of history, culture and civilization, common to the territorial administrative units of Reni, Galați and Cahul. It is these elements that have been and are the basis of good neighborly relations between the cohabiting communities in a region with distinct geographical features that define the unitary character of this area, despite the fact that the area can be divided on cultural, political, ethnic criteria, and so on. The good neighborhood is, along with the unitary geographical character, defined in this situation by the presence of the Danube River, the basis of coexistence of these communities and the main opportunity for cooperation to build a peaceful and prosperous future, based on mutually beneficial economic and social relations.
