The area of Vulcănești is the southern exclave of Gagauzia surrounded by the Cahul District (Moldova) and Odesa Oblast (Ukraine).
One village-rail station also named Vulcănești, is administered by the city.
It was the site of an archaeological investigation, which found a Neolithic sculpture that echoes Rodin's The Thinker.[2][3]

Footnotes:
* There is an ongoing controversy regarding the ethnic identification of Moldovans and Romanians.
* Moldovan language is one of the two local names for the Romanian language in Moldova. In 2013, the Constitutional Court of Moldova interpreted that Article 13 of the constitution is superseded by the Declaration of Independence,[7] thus giving official status to the name Romanian.[8][9]
