Bucharest Zoo History

Bucharest Zoo is situated in Sector. The Municipal Household Section of the People's Council of the Capital built the park in 1955 as a service. Small herds of animals were then dispersed across Baneasa Forest, Carol I, Cismigiu, and Herastrau parks.
The Baneasa Zoological Corner had an increased concentration of animals between 1955 and 1959; the first visiting season began on May 1, 1959.
The organization changed its name to the Bucharest Zoo in 1962. That same year it was listed in the International Zoo Yearbook (International Zoo Yearbook, edited by the Zoological Society of London).
