After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops liberated the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held and occupied by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet liberation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.
