Until the reorganization of the system of the local administration of Transylvania in 1876, the village belonged to the Udvarhelyszék, afterwards to Udvarhely County in the Kingdom of Hungary. In the immediate aftermath of World War I, during the Hungarian–Romanian War (1918–1919), the area passed under Romanian administration. By the terms of the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, it became part of the Kingdom of Romania.
