History
The quarter of Poșta Veche was founded on the site of a village of the same name in the early 19th century. It was named after an old post office located on the outskirts of Chișinău, near Orhei. By 1912, the village had approximately 150 households with a population of around 600 residents. The area was incorporated into the city of Chișinău in the 1920s. Historically, the neighborhood was largely inhabited by peasants, as well as railway workers, craftsmen, and merchants. In some areas, the quarter has retained its old character, with narrow streets, small houses with plots of land, and fences made of wood or stone.
