history
The place originated in the 13th and 14th centuries and was first mentioned in writing in 1439 as Chakanbaza . Over the centuries it was the property of various noblemen. From 1554 to 1594, the village belonged to the Ottoman Empire as part of the Sanjak Széchény. As a result of constant wars, it fell into disrepair and was not revived until the 18th century. In 1828 there were 49 houses and 481 inhabitants who were employed in agriculture. At the end of the 19th century, some lignite mines were still in operation, which were closed again in the late 1930s.
Until 1918/1919 the place in Neograd County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. Due to the First Vienna Arbitral Award , it was again in Hungary from 1938 to 1945.
In 1955 the small settlement Ratka northwest of Čakanovce was spun off and declared an independent municipality.
