Cobani is a village in Glodeni District, Moldova. [3]

History

The village is one of the oldest villages in Moldova attested in written historical records, the oldest record dating to 1374. The village (earlier known as Zubreuti) originally lay closer to the banks of the Prut river, but due to regular seasonal flooding, the locals had, by the early 18th century (ca 1702), gradually resettled the village to the current location of Cobani.
