== Geography == Boghicenii is situated in the valley of the small river Călmățui, south of its source, 28 km from Hîncești and 64 km from Chișinău. The village's territory borders the localities of Bujor, Lăpușna, Șipoteni, Pașcani, Iurceni, and Mirești. Many centuries ago, this area was a vast open field where herds of wild animals roamed. It is possible that they settled here for rest and burial of fallen warriors, nomadic fighters who came for plunder from the Asian steppes.
