Ialoveni (Romanian pronunciation: [jaloˈvenʲ]) is a city in the Republic of Moldova situated 10 km (6 mi) from Chișinău. The city is administrative center of the Ialoveni District.

History

On 25 March 1977 the settlement was named to Kutuzov, and also its status was changed to urban-type settlement. In 1989, after Moldova gained suveranity, on citizens' demand, the locality re-took its old name – Ialoveni. Since 7 December 1994 Ialoveni has status of city/town (Romanian: oraş).
