The villages of the commune historically belonged to the Székely seat of [[Udvarhelyszék]] and from 1876 to [[Udvarhely County]] in the [[Kingdom of Hungary]]. In the immediate aftermath of [[World War I]], during the [[Hungarian–Romanian War]] (1918–1919), these localities passed under Romanian administration. By the terms of the [[Treaty of Trianon]] of 1920, they became part of the [[Kingdom of Romania]]. During the interwar period, the commune fell within [[Odorhei County]]. |

By the terms of the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, they became part of the Kingdom of Romania. During the interwar period, the commune fell within Odorhei County.
As a result of the Second Vienna Award of August 1940, Feliceni, together with the rest of Northern Transylvania, became part of Hungary until the Romanian Army and the Red Army entered the area in September–October 1944. The territory of Northern Transylvania remained under Soviet military administration until March 9, 1945, after which it became again part of Romania. Between 1952 and 1960, the villages formed part of the Hungarian Autonomous Province, then, of the Mureș-Hungarian Autonomous Province until it was abolished in 1968. Since then, the commune has been part of Harghita County.
