Budăi

History

The village of Budăi was formed in the early 19th century. According to legend the area was settled by a Hungarian called Budda, which the village derives its name from. In 1944 an elementary school was opened in the village. In 1949 it was reformed into a seven-year school and in 2021 to a highschool. In 2000 a church named after Demetrius of Thessaloniki was opened. Dermengi (Bulgarian: Дерменджи) was first documented in 1878, the toponym for the village is thought to come from the Gagauz word for mill. Since the formation of Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia, it has been an enclave surrounded by the enclave of Carbalia and Cahul District.
