On its west and north-west are located the Colentina and Andronache neighbourhoods, on its north the town of Voluntari and on its east the commune of Dobroești.

[2] In Fundeni, on 25 October/4 November 1632, Matei Basarab defeated the army Radu Ilieș, who also claimed the throne of Wallachia.

[3] In the second half of the 17th century, Spătar Mihai Cantacuzino came to own most of the Fundeni domain, receiving 500 stânjeni along the Colentina on the Bucharest side from Șerban Cantacuzino and Constantin Brâncoveanu, while gained further parts of the village through his marriage to Marga Mogoșeasca and through buyouts.

[4] Vel Vistier Dumitrașco Racoviță built around 1765-66 on his estate a paper mill, known as hardughia de pe apa Colintinii, using foreign technicians and the corvée work of the people living on the domain.

After World War II, Colentina was rebuilt as an urban neighbourhood, but Fundeni remained more rural for decades after its inclusion in the city.
