The history of the Port of Constanta dates back to the 6th century BC when the area was first inhabited. As the ancient fortress of Tomis, it was given city status by Rome in the 1st century AD and later renamed Constanta in honor of Emperor Constantine I. After being invaded by barbarians during the Byzantine-Roman period, Genoese merchants remained active in the port. After becoming part of the Ottoman Empire, the port saw modest trade activity that contributed to regional development. After Romania gained independence in 1877, initiatives were undertaken to develop the port and take advantage of its strategic location, with the goal of making it one of the most important in the Orient.
