Hânceşti

Hînceşti was established in 1500 AD as Dobreni. Within the Russian Empire it was known under the Russified name Gincheshty (Гинчешты), but in Romanian Hînceşti. In 1940 the name was changed to Kotovskoe after Grigore Kotovski, who was born there. But from 1941 to 1944 it was again known as Hînceşti. From 1945 to 1965 it was called Kotovskoe, which in 1965 was changed to Kotovsk. Since 1990 it is again called Hînceşti.
