## History

The settlement formed part of the [Székely Land](/source/Sz%C3%A9kely_Land) region of the historical [Transylvania](/source/Transylvania) province. Until 1918, the village belonged to the [Háromszék County](/source/H%C3%A1romsz%C3%A9k_County) of the [Kingdom of Hungary](/source/Kingdom_of_Hungary). In the immediate aftermath of [World War I](/source/World_War_I), following the declaration of the [Union of Transylvania with Romania](/source/Union_of_Transylvania_with_Romania), the area passed under Romanian administration during the [Hungarian–Romanian War](/source/Hungarian%E2%80%93Romanian_War) of 1918–1919. By the terms of the [Treaty of Trianon](/source/Treaty_of_Trianon) of 1920, it became part of the [Kingdom of Romania](/source/Kingdom_of_Romania).

In 1925, the commune fell within [Plasa](/source/Plas%C4%83) Ozun of [Trei Scaune County](/source/Trei_Scaune_County). In August 1940, under the auspices of [Nazi Germany](/source/Nazi_Germany), which imposed the [Second Vienna Award](/source/Second_Vienna_Award), [Hungary](/source/Kingdom_of_Hungary_(1920%E2%80%931946)) retook the territory of [Northern Transylvania](/source/Northern_Transylvania) (which included Ozun) from Romania. Towards the end of [World War II](/source/World_War_II), however, the commune was taken back from Hungarian and [German](/source/Nazi_Germany) troops by Romanian and [Soviet](/source/Soviet_Union) forces in September 1944.

In 1950, after [Communist Romania](/source/Socialist_Republic_of_Romania) was established, Ozun became part of the [Sfântu Gheorghe](/source/Sf%C3%A2ntu_Gheorghe) [Raion](/source/Raion) of [Stalin Region](/source/Stalin_Region). From 1952 and 1960, it was part of the [Magyar Autonomous Region](/source/Magyar_Autonomous_Region), and between 1960 and 1968 it reverted to [Brașov Region](/source/Stalin_Region). In 1968, when Romania was reorganized based on counties rather than regions, the commune became part of Covasna County.
