Veľké Dvorníky

History

In the 9th century, the territory of Veľké Dvorníky became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. The village was first recorded in 1162 as village inhabited by people with Udvarnok social status which meant half-free people in the service of the kings of Hungary and Pozsony Castle. Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. The present-day municipality was formed in 1940 by unifying the three component villages. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.
