Cimişlia is a city in the southern part of Moldova, on the banks of the Cogîlnic River. Cimişlia has a population of 12,800 according to a 2006 census. It is the administrative center of Cimişlia District. The city also administers three villages: Bogdanovca Nouă, Bogdanovca Veche and Dimitrovca.
The basis for the name might also lie in a bucolic legend of lovers, Cimiş şi Lia (Cimiş and Lia), for whom jewels appeared, birds sang, and springs appeared from the earth.
In fact, the reality of the locale is much harsher. Although in 1827 Cimişlia became an administrative center, many of its residents died of a plague and there was need of a special cemetery in the southeast part of town. Situated on the steppe of Budjak, by the rivulet Cogîlnic, the city has often suffered from the droughts typical of the area. Dimitrie Cantemir, referring to this river in his work Descriptio Moldaviae, says “”…one could say that it doesn’t arise from a spring: it is only full after the rains of autumn and only then can one call it even a rivulet. All summer it is dry…”” This would apply as well in our time.
