During the interwar period, the commune was named Plăinești and was the headquarters of plasa Marginea de Sus, in Râmnicu Sărat County. From 1948 to 1964, during the rule of Communist dictator Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej, the commune was called Generalisimul Suvorov, after Alexander Suvorov, the 18th-century Russian general who won several battles in the area.
