History & geography

History

Nobody knows exactly when the village of Genchovtsi was founded. But by the words said of old people, the village was named after three brothers who originally settled in the region. They were: Gencho (village of Genchovtsi), Bogdan (village of Bogdanchovtsi), and Fargo (village of Fargovtsi). In the past, Genchovtsi was called Genchomaali – meaning something like a neighbourhood or very small village. Another interesting fact is that many years before Genchovtsi was founded, in the middle of the village, there were graveyards.
