The first historical record about Reni dates back to 1548. At that time Reni was part of Moldavian Principality. Starting from the end of the XVIth century Reni began to play an important role in the economy of the region as a commercial port. Grain and cattle were exported to Turkey and some other countries via the port of Reni.
Reni, being a strategic and economic center of Moldova, had been the object of continuous fight with Turkey. Many times the town would be taken by storm “from hand to hand”. It was only after the Russian-Turkish war of 1877-1878 that Reni became part of Russia.
Reni district is a multinational area where Bulgarians, Gagauziens, Moldovans, Russians, Ukrainians and some other nationalities live side by side. They preserve their national traditions and culture, each enriching the region with specific cultural peculiarities.
