It forms part of the Székely Land, an ethno-cultural region in eastern Transylvania.
The commune is composed of eleven villages:
The villages of the commune historically belonged to the Székely seat of Udvarhelyszék, then, from 1876 until 1918, to Udvarhely County in the Kingdom of Hungary. After World War I, by the terms of the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, they became part of Romania.
As a result of the Second Vienna Award, the region belonged again to Hungary between 1940 and 1944. After World War II, it came under Romanian administration and became part of Romania in 1947. Between 1952 and 1960, the villages formed part of the Hungarian Autonomous Province, then, of the Mureș-Hungarian Autonomous Province until it was abolished in 1968. Since then, the commune has been part of Harghita County.
