BRIEF HISTORY OF THE LOCATION
It seems that the name of the locality comes from a certain Savin and his descendants, a fact that is not documented.
The first documentary attestation of the locality is that of January 6, 1411, in which the village appears with the name of Sobolești, and then that of July 11, 1428, in which it is called Sobolea and which belonged to the Bistrița Monastery.
The first mention of the current name is from March 4, 1797, when ruler Alexandru Calimachi orders the administrators of Neamț to investigate the complaint of the abbot of the Bistrița Monastery against the inhabitants of Săvinești village.
The villages that are part of the commune are Săvinești, Dumbrava Vale and Dumbrava Deal. To these can be added Colonia Săvinești , a small community (currently a neighborhood) that came into existence with the arrival of the workers and specialists who contributed to the construction of the chemical platform in the 60s.
The village of Dumbrava Deal (which came into being after 1907 from the inhabitants who fled from the boyar estates in the villages of Crăcăoani, Bârgăuani and Rediu) was called Dumbrava Roșie (the Red Glade) from the hill ('deal") and was established on the site of an oak grove that was deforested giving lots of property to the inhabitants. The inhabitants of this village were called "those from the hill" and hence the name of the village Deleni.
THE CHEMICAL PLANT OF SĂVINEȘTI
Săvinești is associated with the name of the synthetic yarns and fibers complex, once the pride of the Romanian chemical industry. According to the data on Wikipedia, the Săvinești industrial platform was built in 1957. It started with a synthetic fiber production unit.
In 1958, the Azochim Fertilizer Plant, currently SC Ga-Pro-Co Chemicals Săvinești, was put into operation. Almost 3000 Germans worked at Azochim at that time. The industrial platform also included Fibrex, Rifil, Melana and the Research Institute for Synthetic Yarns and Fibers (ICEFS) Săvinești (founded in 1991).
At one time, approximately 18,000 people worked on the Săvinești chemical platform, including those on the construction sites, the vast majority of them commuters from Piatra-Neamț.
