The commune is composed of three villages: Dobolii de Jos (Aldoboly), Ilieni, and Sâncraiu (Sepsiszentkirály).

The abundance of arable lands in the area (within the historical Háromszék region), and trade relations with nearby Saxon settlements, including Brașov, contributed to the sound economic basis of the community.

Also resulting from its geographical location, the Székely settlement, during its history, was often subject to foreign military campaigns.

The most tragical of these attacks was in 1658, when the fortified church of the village was successfully conquered by allied Turkish and Moldavian forces, who killed all the defending fighters and threw their bodies into the well of the stronghold.

Since the fall of communism in 1989, the local community has been successful in developing viable economic activities, mostly based on agriculture and food industry, but a conference centre, a youth hostel and guest houses in the area also contribute to the revival of the settlement.
