Trușeni
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.
