The commune is situated in a hilly region in the Eastern Carpathians, on the banks of the river Ojdula.

Ojdula is crossed by national road DN2D [ro], which runs from Târgu Secuiesc to Focșani.

After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, it became part of the Kingdom of Romania and fell within plasa Târgu Secuiesc of Trei Scaune County.

In September 1944, during World War II, Romanian and Soviet armies entered the locality.

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