Summary/Abstract: The administrative organization of the medieval Moldavian state was, from its beginning, based on numerous regional structures according to geographical configurations or older political or financial events. Over these overlapped several pre-state parties directly mentioned or just suggested in different sources. “The Mark” organized by the Hungarian royalty along the Moldavia river was certainly the nucleus that started the later medieval Moldavian state. At the same time, this issue led to the expansion, with a political impulse, of Moldavia, first towards north and the limit with what was called the Şipeniţ County and towards the Field of Dragoş in the south. Therefore, from the beginning of the Moldavian state there was a network of cities including Ţeţina, Hmielov, Hotin, Suceava and Neamţ and allowed the configuration of the administrative organization of Moldavia in which Suceava County was the oldest.
