history

Buhuși was first mentioned in a document in 1438. 1457 defeated his adversary Petru Aron in the area of ​​today's city Ștefan cel Mare and thus ascended the throne of the Principality of Moldova . The name of the place - which was originally called Bodeşti - changed over time into its current form and is derived from a noble family Buhuş who lived in the area. In 1885 a large textile factory was opened, which from then on determined economic life in Buhuși for a long time. In 1930 Buhuși was declared a town. Today only a few people work in the textile factory. A new business park has been set up on the outskirts.

The zoo, which was built in the early 1980s, was closed in early 2009 due to improper operation. The area is (as of 2015) in a desolate condition.
