Abstract

This paper refers to the conditions of the rural communes that constituted the Covurlui County, in southern Moldavia, at the end of the 19th and in early 20th centuries. After shortly mentioning all administrative subunits and the local developments during the 1907 peasants’ uprising, the author contends that the small number of popular banks, as compared to the neighbouring county of Brăila, is to be related to the economic activities specific to the area, where animal breeding was more important than land cultivation.
