History
It formed part of the Székely Land region of the historical Transylvania province. Until 1918, the village belonged to the Háromszék County of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, it became part of Romania. In 2004, Dalnic broke off from Moacșa to form an independent commune.
Demographics
The commune has an absolute Székely Hungarian majority. According to the 2011 census, it has a population of 1,206, of which 94.69% or 1,142 are Hungarian.[2]
gollark: 8 miles of walking is still... an hour or so, no?

gollark: Personally, I do not actually have ”guns” and I use headphones for music.
gollark: Anyway, ignoring the whole pandemic situation, which is probably temporary, I would really much prefer to be in a city than [RURAL AREA REDACTED], where I am now.
