History
editThe oldest village in the commune is Dudulesti, founded by Moldovan migrants from Borogani in 1902. Congazcicul de Jos was founded in 1905 and Congazcicul de Sus in 1921, both by migrants from Congaz. The name Kongazçık came from the diminutive form of Kongaz with the addition of "çık" which in Gagauz means to "go out".[3]
