History

The village was first mentioned officially in 1420. In the beginning of the Turkish invasion, it was property of the Mirliva family. In the seventeenth century, Farmos was mentioned among totally perished villages. About 1700, several families were deployed to the village, who had been hungarianized within a few decades. According to the county record of 1727, the recent area of the village was owned by - among others - Ádám Bene, Boldizsár Kozma, Count and Antal Grassalkovich. In the nineteenth century it was owned by the Ivánka-Kass-Matolcsy and Vízy families.
