A Look Back in Time

During the 1780s, about 12 German families came to live in Ilișești. This happened during a time called the Josephine colonization. These German families were part of a group known as the Bukovina Germans. This community grew in Suceava County and the wider Bukovina area during the late Modern Age. This was when the Habsburg and later the Austro-Hungarian empires ruled the region.
