History: The site was settled in the late medieval period, centered on a river crossing and a timber mill. A mining operation for iron and slate operated nearby from the 17th to 19th centuries. The arrival of roads in the early 20th century and gradual mechanization shaped its development, while many residents shifted to forestry and small-scale manufacturing in the late 20th century.

The local economy relies on forestry, woodworking crafts, and agrarian produce, with tourism tied to hiking trails, scenic overlooks, and modest lodging accommodations. Public services are focused on rural infrastructure, education, and regional governance.
