Summary/Abstract: It is a necessity–says the author of the article –to write a monograph of Vicovu de Sus and, due to the development of historical research, to discover new sources that could complement or reveal particular aspects of the life of this place. The name of the settlement probably comes from the Sicova stream, an affluent of the Suceava River. The first written mention of Vicovu de Sus dates from May 23, 1436, and it was found in a document from Suceava. In the present study, beginning with the occupation of the northern part of Moldavia b the Habsburg Empire, the author introduces the establishment of the stud farm in Vicovu de Sus, the social situation of the farmers in the Vicov area and the development of the town of Vicovu de Sus at the end of the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century.
