Cealîc

The village of Cealîc was founded in 1913, it is thought the etymology is of Tatar origin. In the first half of the 20th century the area together with Svetlîi, was a united village called Mârzen which was founded by German colonists. Neighboring Gagauz people who occasionally worked for the Germans built small housing in the village of Cealîc, which were later used by deported and rehabilitated families from Altai, Kazakhstan and Siberia. The Cealîc village council was formed in July 17, 1981, initially just including Cealîc and Samurza.[4]

Cortenul Nou

Cortenul Nou (Bulgarian: Нови Кортен) is the smallest and newest village in the commune, around 0.67 km². Prior to the Moldovan administrative reform in 1994 it was part of the Svetlîi commune. On March 5, 1995 the villages of Svetlîi and Alexeevca voted in favor of joining Gagauzia while Cortenul Nou did not.[4] Today it is a small enclave surrounded by the village of Svetlîi.
