Trușeni is a commune and village in the Buiucani Sector of the Chisinau Municipality, Moldova. It had a population of 10,380 at the 2014 Moldovan Census, and is a northwest suburb of Chișinău. The commune is composed of two villages, Dumbrava (population 406) and Trușeni (population 7,546, according to the 2004 Moldovan census).[4]

Etymology

[edit]

The name Trușeni may have originated form its legendary founder "Toader Truș" with local residents calling it "În sat alde Truș" (In Truș' village) before overtime calling it Trușeni.[5]

History

[edit]

Legend says that a certain Toader Truș left his hometown of Turluești and settled the village of Trușeni at where it is now, albiet this is only a legend and has no significant historical backing.[5]

The earliest documentary mention of Trușeni is from a charter by Petru Rareș in the Principality of Moldavia in relation to setting the boundaries of the local Căpriana Monastery.[5][6] However, according to the Statistical Dictionary of Bessarabia, Bucharest 1923, the village was established in 1510.[7]

On June 17, 1992, in a decision taken by the Moldovan Government, a land grant was given to the Trușeni Commune what would later coalesce into a town named Dumbrava.[8]

Flag and Coat of Arms

[edit]

The commune did not have a flag until October 2, 2013, when the Trușeni Local Council approved the cherry tree design for both the flag and coat of arms in Decree No. 8/8. The flag and coat of arms wouldn't be registered and/or "official" until June 13th, 2016, when the Moldovan Government registered and officialized the flag and coat of arms cherry tree designs in Decree No. 2128.[9][10]
