History
The village of Corten was founded in 1830 by Bulgarian refugees from the village of Korten in Rumelia, Ottoman Empire following the Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829). The name of the village was officially recorded in documents as Kiryutnya (Russian: Кирютня), while the locals referred to the village as Corten. According to the Russian Imperial doucments, in 1835 around 654 people lived in the village.[4]
In 1946, two collective farms were formed in the village, named "Stalin" and "Lenin", which in 1951 merged into a single collective farm called "Lenin's Way."[5]
Following the Independence of Moldova, the village was officially renamed to Corten and a Bulgarian kindergarten was opened in the village alongside switching to Bulgarian in schools, before this education was exclusively in either Romanian, Russian or Ukrainian.[6]
