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).

Etymology

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.

History

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

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. However, according to the Statistical Dictionary of Bessarabia, Bucharest 1923, the village was established in 1510.

By 1904, the commune had amassed 3,426 residents.

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.

Flag and Coat of Arms

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.

Government & Politics

The commune is ruled under a mayor-council government, whereby the mayor makes a decision and the council converses on wether to approve or object the decision.

As of 2022 the mayor position is controlled by Viorica Beregoi, while the Vice-mayor postion is controlled by Ghenadii Nedreaga.
