It was first mentioned in the 15th century when it was named "Bodești" and was a property of an important family of Boyars named "Buhuș".
The town had the biggest textile factory in south-eastern Europe. But the factory has drastically reduced its capabilities after 1989 and currently employs less than 200 workers.
