History

From ancient times the area was populated by Dacians. After the Roman conquest of Dacia, the Romans imposed their control in the area by constructing a fort known as Praetoria Augusta in Inlăceni village. The fort was discovered in 1858.

18th century map]] The villages were historically part of the [[Székely Land]] region of [[Transylvania]] province. They belonged to [[Udvarhely]] district until the administrative reform of Transylvania in 1876, when they fell within [[Udvarhely County]] in the [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. After the [[Treaty of Trianon]] of 1920, they became part of [[Romania]] and fell within [[Odorhei County]] during the interwar period. In 1940, the [[second Vienna Award]] granted [[Northern Transylvania]] to Hungary, which held it until 1944. After Soviet occupation, the Romanian administration returned, and the commune became officially part of Romania in 1947. Between 1952 and 1960, the commune was part of the [[Magyar Autonomous Region]], between 1960 and 1968 the Mureș-Magyar Autonomous Region. In 1968, the province was abolished, and since then, the commune has been part of Harghita County.

The Reformed church was built in 1802, on the site of a 17th-century church destroyed in the great fire of 8 September 1792. The Roman Catholic parish church was built in 1876 in honor of St. Michael. Its tower was completed in 1889. The village used to be famous for its weekly fairs.
