Nicolae Simache (November 5, 1905 – January 6, 1972) was a Romanian teacher, historian, and writer.
Born in Cosminele, Prahova County, he studied at the Saints Peter and Paul High School in Ploiești,[1] and then at the University of Bucharest, graduating in 1931. From 1932 to 1969, he taught history at his old school, which was renamed the Ion Luca Caragiale High School in 1952. In 1963, he founded a clock museum in Ploiești, now named the Nicolae Simache Clock Museum.[2][3]
In 1965, he was awarded the Order of Labor, 3rd class.[4] A school in Ploiești[5] as well as a street in this city[3] now bear his name.
