Anghel Nour was a Bessarabian politician. He served as the first mayor of Chià ÂinÃÂu between 1817 and 1821.
Angel Nour was born in a family of Moldavian small-local nobles. He participated in the Russo-Turkish War (1806âÂÂ1812), representing the Russian Empire, rising through the ranks to eventually become captain.
In 1817, for the first time, the elections to the ChiÃÂinÃÂu City Duma were held. At meetings of the Moldavian, Russian, Bulgarian, Greek and Jewish societies, one representative was elected. The first mayor was elected by the Duma - the "Moldavian service captain" Angel Nour.
He was actively engaged in the improvement of ChiÃÂinÃÂu, which was ceded to Russia in 1812 after the first Russian annexation of Bessarabia.
