History & geography

History

Bogdana traces back to a 15th-century settlement under the name of Zvastelești, at the site of the present-day village of Bogdana. A 20 October 1468 document from Stephen III of Moldavia mentions a bargain between Toader Zvasteala (after whom the village was named) and his sisters "the first living in the village of Zvastelești, but the others in the village of Sarbanești, both in Bogdana." Other nearby villages mentioned are Horjaștii, Sarbanești, and others that no longer exist. The present-day village of Suceveni dates from the 18th century, Fântâna Blănarului from 1830, Similișoara from 1845, and Lacu Babei from 1880.
