County Teleorman is bordered by County Giurgiu in the east, County Olt
in the west, and counties Argeş and Dâmboviţa to
the north. Across the Danube river is Bulgaria to the south with
their Veliko Tarnovo and Pleven Provinces.
This county has a total area of 5,790 km˛, with two
main features. In the North and centre there are plains from the
Romanian Plain. They are separated by small rivers, which sometimes form
deep valleys.
In the South there is the Danube valley, very wide, with ponds and
small channels.
Beside the Danube, the main river crossing the county is the Olt River
which flows into the Danube close to the village of Islaz. Other
important rivers are: the Vedea River, the Teleorman River and the
Călmăţui River.

75/km˛, with over 97% of that being ethnic Romanians. The largest
minority group is the Rroma people.
Economy
