In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. In 1941, the village was administratively attached to Vojka. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovakian administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.
