History

The Romanian boyar and heir apparent to the Moldavian throne Grigore Mihail Sturdza was born in Sculeni in 1821. He was the son of Prince Mihail Sturdza, a scion of Wallachian and Moldavian nobility.

The town had an important Jewish community before World War II. In June 1941, hundreds of Jews from the area were murdered in mass executions perpetrated by a death squad of Romanian troops.

The town is the namesake of the Skulen Hasidic dynasty, as its founder, Eliezer Zusia Portugal, initially served as the town's rabbi.
