  • For shame city street which crosses the city and who wants to belong to E581 from Iasi to Tecuci, is a very bad state, I almost broke my car there. Although this happens only in the segment of road in the city. Besides the city state road comes back to something reasonable. This is proof of local interest for the mayor's own image. I wish that someone contradict me in the future, but I hope it will be not in 2100.
  • I love u,Flory,my darling from Birlad!!!
  • Intre 1923-1952 este resedinta judetului Tutova, intre 1952-1960 a existat chiar si regiunea Barlad, intre 1960-1968 (februarie) este resedinta raionului cu accelasi nume (din cadrul regiunii Iasi), din 1968 fiind declarat municipiul. In perioada interbelica, alaturi de Iasi si Botosani, Barladul a fost unul dintre cele 3 centre culturale din Moldova.
  • In Barlad s-au nascut Gheorghe Gheorghiu Dej (muncitor electrician ceferist, apoi sef de stat), Nicolae Rainea (arbitru de fotbal)
