History

The Baneasa district, formerly the "Baneasa suburban commune", originated on a portion of the former estate of Maria Bibescu, Countess of Montesquiou-Fézensac.

The name of the village (and later of the commune and the Bucharest district of Baneasa) comes from the wife (baneasa) of the 17th-century Ban Mares. The banker bought parts of the Carstienesti estate (as the village was then called), and after his death the property was increased by his widow. Baneasa never belonged to the Ghica family.
