According to the 1774 census, the village of Hirova had 47 houses. In 1803, the village landowners built a wooden church on the site of an older one. The 1859 census recorded 178 houses in Hirova with 832 inhabitants. Part of the village estate was owned by Hîrbovăț Monastery. In 1922, as a result of the agrarian reform, 156 peasants were granted land ownership. A year later, the village had 380 houses, 1884 inhabitants, a steam mill, a primary school, a tavern, and a town hall.
