We have a young small town with a lot of blocks of flats. All of them have only four levels. There are also a few houses at the edge of the town. In the latest time many businessmen built shops, companies and big houses with two levels but with many rooms. There are a lot of cars in our town. In fact, Mioveni Town is the heart of the Romanian car.

Mioveni Town has a history of 524 years. It was first documented, as historical sources reveals, in 1485. Its name comes from a local prince, Mihu (Mihov Slavonic) Mihoveni (Mioveni), making direct reference to the inhabitants of this social formation. The main historical landmarks of Mioveni Town come down to early human social development, as a fact attested by polished stone tools discovered in adjacent areas as well as pottery from the Bronze Age. Until 1989, the current town was a suburban commune of Pitesti City and it was called Colibasi. On April 19, 1989, by presidential decree, it became Colibasi Town. Since 1996, as a result of steps taken by the Government and Parliament of Romania, local authorities, Colibasi Town returns to the old name, Mioveni, instrument repair the moral, if one takes into account that the current focus is on the hearth of the old urban village demolished all to make way for new construction. There are five districts included in the administrative-territorial composition of the town: Mioveni, Racoviţa Colibasi, Faget and Clucereasa.
