The commune, and the area surrounding it (Țara Vidrelor), is named after the otter, a semiaquatic mammal which lives around there. The area has been inhabited since the Dacians and the Roman conquest, due to its proximity to the gold mining sites of the Apuseni Mountains.
Its current mayor is Doru Petricele, elected in 2020. The previous mayor, Ioan Alexandru Resiga, was in office from 2004 until 2020.
