Part of the historical region of Bukovina, Frumosu was under Habsburg and Austrian rule (being part of the Duchy of Bukovina, Cisleithania) until 1918 when it became part of the Kingdom of Romania. During the modern period up until the mid 20th century, the commune was also inhabited by a small German minority, more specifically Bukovina Germans (German: Bukowinadeutsche or Buchenlanddeutsche). At the 1930 Romanian census, the Bukovina Germans in Frumosu accounted for 3.1% of the population of the commune, being the second largest ethnic group after the Romanian majority.
