History
Archeological remains indicate that the area was settled by Avars and early Hungarians. The village's name first appears in writing in 1312. The village was first ruled by the Gutkeled clan, who ruled the village even into the 15th century. Their rule was not continuous however, as other families took possession of the settlement, including the Dobi family. The wars of the 17th century didn't ddrive the village extinct, however its population fell dramatically.
During the Reformation, the majority of the population converted, and in the 17th and 18th centuries, a sizeable orthodox population settled in the village. From 1739-1740 there was an outbreak of the plague, which killed a total of 904 villagers.
