History & geography

History

In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1233, when Peter Köbölkúti possessed the settlement. The battle of Köbölkút occurred here in 1663. In the 9th century, the territory of Kamenín became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area, later acknowledged internationally by the Treaty of Trianon. Between 1938 and 1945 Kamenín once more became part of Miklós Horthy's Hungary through the First Vienna Award. From 1945 until the Velvet Divorce, it was part of Czechoslovakia. Since then it has been part of Slovakia.
