History
Comrat was first settled as early as 1443, with other sources claiming it was founded in 1789. Nevertheless, the settlement was sparsely populated until the new Russian government issued a decree in 1819 to resettle the region with Bulgarians and other nationalities from across the Danube,[2] after the territory was annexed by Russia from Moldavia in 1812.
In 1906, the village revolted against the Russian authorities and proclaimed the autonomous (but not independent) Comrat Republic.[3][4] Following World War I, it was part of Kingdom of Romania. During World War II, it was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, before it was recaptured by Romania in 1941.
During the time when the town was part of Moldavian SSR, Comrat's industry was geared toward the production of butter, wine, and rugs, the latter decorated with Moldavian motifs. The Comrat State University was established in 2002.

According to the 2024 census, 19,120 inhabitants lived in Comrat (making it the eleventh largest city in Moldova), a decrease compared to the previous census in 2014, when 20,113 inhabitants were registered.[5][6]
