Ghindari (Hungarian: Makfalva, Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈmɒkfɒlvɒ]; German: Eicheldorf) is a commune in Mureș County, Romania. It lies in the Székely Land, an ethno-cultural region in eastern Transylvania. The commune is composed of five villages: Abud (Székelyabod), Ceie (Cséje), Ghindari, Solocma (Szolokma), and and Trei Sate (Hármasfalu). The latter village, in turn, is composed of three hamlets: Cioc (Csókfalva), Hotești (Atosfalva), and Ștefănești (Székelyszentistván).
History
Until 1918, the villages belonged to the Maros-Torda County of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Hungarian–Romanian War of 1918–19 and the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the area became part of the Romania. In 2004, Chibed broke away to form an independent commune.
