After the Mongol storm of 1241, Szekler and Transylvanian Saxons were settled on the area of ​​today's village in order to continue operating the salt mine, which had existed since the 11th century. The place was documented for the first time in 1291, raised to the status of a city in the same century and declared a municipality in 1884.

Archaeological finds on the mountain called Csipkehegy by the locals near Pasul cu cărămizi (Hungarian Tégláshángó ) and near Fântâna Viței (Hungarian Vicekút ) indicate that the area was settled back in the Bronze Age . Numerous objects from Roman times were found on the site.

On August 23, 1717, the place was again devastated by the Tatars, so that this day is held annually as a day of remembrance.

In the Kingdom of Hungary , today's municipality belonged to the Szamosújvár chair district in the Szolnok-Doboka County , then to the historical Someș district and, from 1950, to today's Cluj district.
