The village historically was part of Transylvania within the Kingdom of Hungary, and belonged to Doboka County until 1876, when it was incorporated into Kolozs county. In 1920, after World War I and the Treaty of Trianon, the village, as part of Transylvania, was awarded to Romania. In 1940, by the Second Vienna Arbitration, it was annexed by Hungary. In 1944 ethnic Romanian rebels of Miluani burnt up the Hungarian Reformed Church's archive in Hida.^{[citation needed]}
