Varín

History

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1235. In the middle of the 13th century as terra Warna it was property of the Cseszneky de Milvány family. In 1993, the local government named one of the streets after Jozef Tiso, president of the First Slovak Republic, a client state of Nazi Germany. This action sparked controversy amongst some people and in 2021 a law enforcement authority launched a criminal investigation.
