history
Blahová arose around the old Sárrét puszta farm as a colony of Czech- and Slovak-speaking settlers in the predominantly Hungarian-speaking southern Slovakia in the 1920s. The new settlers came mainly from Moravia , then others from the Slovak region, some also from Bulgaria, and lived next to the Hungarian families who lived at the Meierhof. The new place was named Blahova Dedina (German: Blahos Dorf) after the Slovak politician and doctor Pavel Blaho . At that time it was administratively part of the municipality of Lehnice and was (and still is) agricultural. The first school was built in 1928 and a church was added in 1935.
After the first Viennese arbitration award in late 1938, the colonists had to leave the place under pressure from the Hungarian power. With the end of World War II and the restoration of the Czechoslovak state in 1945, the colonists came back.
Shortly after the communist seizure of power, the collectivization culminated with the establishment of the LPG in 1950. Only one year later, the village received independence from the municipality of Lehnice and has been called Blahová ever since.
From 1976 to 1990 Bellova Ves was part of the municipality.
