History
editFirst official documentation of the village goes back to 1806, the name of the settlement is most likely of Tatar origin. After the expulsion of the Budjak Tatars, the village was inhabited by Moldovans from Hîncești alongside Bulgarian and Gagauz refugees from the Ottoman Empire. In 1879, a stone church was built in the village.[4]
