The commune is composed of three villages: Crăciunel (Karácsonyfalva), Ocland, and Satu Nou (Homoródújfalu).

The Romanian name was originally Homorod-Uifalău which was changed to the current official form after World War I.

[3] The villages were part of the Székely Land region of the historical Transylvania province.

After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, they became part of Romania and fell within Odorhei County during the interwar period.

After Soviet occupation, the Romanian administration returned and the commune officially became part of Romania again in 1947.
