history
Before the Second World War , the residents lived from agriculture. After the war, people worked in producer cooperatives and in mines in the area. After the system change , the producer cooperatives were dissolved and the mines closed, so that a large part of the residents became unemployed. As a result, many looked for work in the neighboring town of Edelény.
Until 1992 the place belonged to Edelény and only then became an independent municipality.
