 The club was named after the Chindia Tower, a tower built in the time of Prince Vlad III the Impaler, located near the stadium and part of the Curtea Domnească monuments ensemble.The monument is a symbol of the city and the football phenomenon, the team being most of the time associated with it, either by its name (Chindia), either when the squad is generically named "the team situated under the Chindia Tower".Even if it's not the original club of the city and does not hold the record of the old team (FCM Târgoviște), the club enjoys the support of the local fans, who consider it to be the main club of the city and the successor (at least sentimental) of the football history under the Chindia Tower, football history that starts long ago, in 1948.
