The town is located in the centre of the Gyergyó Basin, which lies between the ranges of the Eastern Carpathians. Named after its church dedicated to St Nicholas, the settlement was founded in the 13th century by Székelys who fled here during the Mongol invasion. The Székelys had equal rights with the nobles, owned their own land, paid mostly no taxes, and in return were obliged to go to war one by one to defend Hungary from foreign invasions. King Matthias was the first to declare Gyergyó a separate Székely seat from Csík. In the early 1500s, the Lázár family acquired significant estates in Csík and Gyergyó, and for a long time they were the leaders of the Székely seat. In the 16th century the first Vlachs appeared in Gyergyó. In the middle of the 17th century, with the support of the Transylvanian prince, a significant number of Armenians settled in the town, who later united with the Roman Catholic Church keeping their own rite. Their church is one of the town's landmarks. In 1876, the Székely seats were abolished during the modernisation of the administration, and the town became part of Csík County. From 1952 to 1968, it was part of the Hungarian autonomous region created under Soviet pressure, which was then abolished by the Romanians. It is still a Hungarian majority town.

The settlement was named after its church dedicated to St. Nicholas (Szent Mikl\u00f3s), but the origin of the Gyergy\u00f3 name, the first component of the settlement\u2019s name, is debated. According to a theory, it comes from the present participle of the Hungarian verb gurog (g\u00f6r\u00f6g in present day Hungarian, meaning \u2019to roll\u2019), which became g\u00f6rg\u0151 (rolling), then gyergy\u00f3. Others trace it back to the name of the Gy\u00f6rgy (George) Stream. According to a tradition, the first settlers exclaimed Jer! J\u00f3! (Come! Good!).

The communists, to whom K\u00e1rolyi Mih\u00e1ly conceded the power, were also hostile towards the Sz\u00e9kely Division.

Its origins are unknown. In the early 14th century, the ruins of the castle were used to build a castle, which became the property of the Both family at the end of the 17th century. During the Hungarian War of Independence led by R\u00e1k\u00f3czi Ferenc II (1703-1711), the castle was destroyed by the imperial troops and has been ruined ever since.

It was a Red Cross hospital for six months, and in September 1915 it was ready to start teaching.
