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.

At the 2011 census, the commune had 9,346 inhabitants; of those for whom data were available, 98.6% were Romanians and 1.3% Roma.[2]
