The commune is situated around confluence between the Trotuș and Dofteana rivers. It was first attested in a document of 1436, issued by the ''hospodar'' Ștefăniță, who donated to his adviser Babor Plopescu six villages on the Trotuș and Tazlău valleys, one of which was Dofteana, called ''Dohtana'' in that period.
