The majority of the Magyar population (aborigines in 99%)- and living continuously in this village for more than 900 years, surviving the Osman occupation (lasting for 150 years) - was expelled to Hungary - mainly the Calvinists - on the basis of the brutal Kosice-Kassa Declaration of the Czechoslovak National-Socialist party's leader and president of CSR, E.Benes - between spring of 1945 - and the end of 1948. The remaining part of Magyars were expelled for a transitional but genuine slavery (during an ice cold winter /1948-49/ in unheated waggoons) to Sudetenland where from the German aborigines were thrown out.
