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~~Slavic ''kvas'', which means " bitter", referring to the taste of the mineral water springs located in the city.{{cncitation 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.{{cncitation 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.
