Summary/Abstract: In this article the author determines the period when Veprova-Puţintei village from Orhei county was created and the borders of the village property at its formation and within its development. The documentary investigations attest that Veprova has its beginning in the first half of the fifteenth century, not by a ruler’s book form Alexandru cel Bun of 1406, but from the rulers Ilie and Ştefan, dated with 17 July 1436. With this book the rulers donated two deserted places across Prut, on Cula river, to Hodco Creţovici, for „the right and loyal servant”. This servant is the founder of Veprova village. Its borders were on rivers Cula and Vatici, and villages Detelev (Ghetlova), Borşciari, Hluboaca and Morozeni. Later, at the beginning of the seventeenth century the settlement changed its name to Puţuntei. The village existed under this name until the nineteenth century when it split in two: Puţintei and Veprova.
