History

Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary. In the 15th century, the village belonged to the Pressburg Castle. After the 17th century the Amadé, Kánya, Cseszneky and Pálffy families were the most important land-owners in the village.

The village administratively fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County in the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovakian troops occupied the area. Under the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, it became officially part of Czechoslovakia and fell within Bratislava County until 1927. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovakian administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia by the Paris Peace Treaties in 1947.
