History

The oldest evidence of the settlement of Vráble comes from the Neolithic age (6000-2000 BC), where a major settlement was located here. The first written reference is from 1265 as Verebel. In Vráble, there was the oldest post-station. The city kept an agricultural character in the 19th and 20th centuries. Economic development has influenced the architecture of the city. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Vráble was part of Bars County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was again part of Hungary as a result of the First Vienna Award.
