             Located in Bărăganul ialomitean (7 km from Slobozia, the county), Amara is documentary with this name in 1882, although traces were discovered on the territory from the late Stone Age.

            The first settlements established in the present territory of the village were recorded in the years 1857-1859, when groups of shepherds settled there came from Fagaras and Muscelului, which joined other groups of pastors in the years 1864-1866. They built their huts and cottages around the lake, forming here a hamlet belonging to Slobozia. Predominantly rural and urban recently.

The resort was documented as early as during the reign of Matei Basarab, but first warm baths were built in 1905. During World War I, they were destroyed. Only after the Second World War were built the first utility for treatment and was arranged around Lake Amara beach, beach used for sunbathing.

 Low powered from west of a trickle of fresh water that crosses the village, the lake is composed of three s

ections of approximately equal length. Central sector is oriented east-west and has a maximum depth of 2.8 m. At the western end of the central sector and by extension, is a second sector, facing north, with a maximum depth below 2 m, surrounded by banks with shrubs favorite of wild ducks.
