The villages forming the commune belonged to Csíkszék district until the administrative reform of Transylvania in 1876, when  they fell within the Csík County in the Kingdom of Hungary.

The most important component village of the commune is Misentea (, or colloquially "Mindszent", , "meaning "All Saints""). It was first recorded as "Omnes Sancti" in 1332. The village, composed of scattered houses at that time, had already existed in the era of the Árpád dynasty. It was burned down by Ottoman troops in 1661 when half of the village people perished. In 1719, it was hit by a plague. Biblical names are given for the parts of the village, which is explained by the fact that a 19th-century local priest is said  to have replaced the Szekely placenames given under the ancient decimal tribal system by biblical names.
