Along with the rest of Bukovina, Cârlibaba formed part of the Principality of Moldavia until 1774, when it was occupied by Russia, and soon handed over to Austria. Under Austria and Austria-Hungary, the commune was inhabited by a sizeable number of Zipser German mining colonists (part of the broader Bukovina German community of the historical region of Bukovina and Suceava County).[3]
During World War I, on 18–23 January 1915, it was the site of a battle between the Polish Legions and Russian troops, won by the Poles.[4] A memorial to the fallen Polish soldiers was erected in 1932 near the Saint Louis church.[5]
