The "Moldo-Russian Chronicle" says that Dragoș and his people settled in the borderlands "where the Tatars were wandering". The exact borders of Moldavia during Dragoș's reign cannot be determined. Spinei and Andreescu write that it developed in the region that is now known as Bukovina. According to the local inhabitants' tradition, Dragoș set up his residence in Siret. The "Moldo-Russian Chronicle" attributed the foundation of both Siret and Baia to him. The 17th-century Miron Costin wrote that viniculture had been introduced in Moldavia by Saxon craftsmen who came upon Dragoș's invitation.
