It is known for its natural mineral waters and [[mofetta]]s. The town administers one village, Chiuruș ({{lang-hu\|Csomakőrös}}). The village has a population of 451 and has an absolute [[Székelys\|Székely]] [[Hungarian people\|Hungarian]] majority. Before Orbaiszék merged with Sepsiszék and Kézdiszék to create [[Háromszék County]], in 1876, Covasna was the capital village of Orbaiszék. ==Name origin== There are several theories regarding the origin of the city's name, the most recognized one being that it originates from the Slavic ''kvas'', which means "bitter", referring to the taste of the mineral water springs located in the city.{{citation needed\|date=January 2020}} According to Szabó Gyula (1914–1984), some legends suggest that the name of ''Kovászna'' might have been the result of a fusion between the name of "''Kó''" and the word "''vászon''" (it means ''canvas'' in Hungarian), thus meaning "''Kó's canvas''". Theories suggest that the individual of "''Kó''" might have been a knight, a craftsman or even the last monarch of the Fairies Fortress.{{citation needed\|date=January 2020}} ==Demographics== At the [[2021 Romanian census\|2021 census]], Covasna had a population of 9,208.<ref name="RPL2021">{{cite web\|url=https://www.recensamantromania.ro/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Tabel-1.03_1.3.1-si-1.03.2.xls\|title=Populația rezidentă după grupa de vârstă, pe județe și municipii, orașe, comune, la 1 decembrie 2021\|publisher=[[National Institute of Statistics (Romania)\|INSSE]]\|language=ro\|date=31 May 2023}}</ref> At the [[2011 Romanian census\|2011 census]], the town had 10,265 inhabitants, of which 7,549 or 66.4% were [[Hungarians]] and 3,672 or 32.3% were [[Romanians]]. ~~According to the 2011 [[census]], Covasna has 10,265 inhabitants.
