The settlement was formed around a medieval castle known as Kastély, from which its name is derived (in Hungarian kastély means "castle"). On the Josephinische Landesaufnahme of 1717, it was listed under the name Gustik. Today's village was formed by merging three hamlets after 1945: Coșteiu Mare (), Coșteiu Mic () and Sâlha ().
