It is composed of five villages: Chileni (Kilyénfalva), Liban (Libántelep), Senetea (Szenete), Suseni, and Valea Strâmbă (Tekerőpatak).

During the interwar period, Suseni fell within plasa Gheorgheni in Ciuc County.

The territory of Northern Transylvania remained under Soviet military administration until March 9, 1945, after which it became again part of Romania.
