Suharău is a commune in Botoșani County, Western Moldavia, Romania. It is composed of six villages: Izvoare, Lișna, Oroftiana, Plevna, Smârdan and Suharău.
The former village of Comănești is the oldest documented part of Suharău.[1] Previously separate, in 1968, it was forcefully merged with Suharău, vanishing from the map and becoming Suharău II.[2] Despite protests, this decision has never been undone.[3]
The Prut enters Romania in Oroftiana village.
