The locality was mentioned for the first time in 1409 as Lucafalva. During its history, there were several military raids carried out against the village which also sustained a lot from flooding. In the immediate aftermath of
World War I, following the declaration of the
Union of Transylvania with Romania, the area passed under Romanian administration during the
Hungarian–Romanian War of 1918–1919. By the terms of the
Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became part of the
Kingdom of Romania, under the name
Luca. During the
interwar period, it belonged to
Plasa Mureș de Jos of Mureș County. In August 1940, the
Second Vienna Award granted
Northern Transylvania to Hungary and the territory was held by Hungary until October 1944, when it was taken back from Hungarian and
German troops by Romanian and
Soviet forces. Administered by the Soviet authorities after November 1944, the village, together with the rest of Northern Transylvania, came under Romanian administration in March 1945. In 1952, it was named after
György Dózsa, who led a peasants' revolt against landed nobility at the beginning of the 16th century. Between 1952 and 1960, the commune fell within the Magyar Autonomous Region, between 1960 and 1968 the Mureș-Magyar Autonomous Region, and since then, it has been part of Mureș County. ==Demographics==
