History
On 25 March 1977 the settlement was named to Kutuzov, and also its status was changed to urban-type settlement. In 1989, after Moldova gained suveranity, on citizens' demand, the locality re-took its old name – Ialoveni. Since 7 December 1994 Ialoveni has status of city/town (Romanian: oraş).
