history
According to the community chronicle and a legend, the place was first mentioned in 1241, when the defeated Hungarian army returned from the battle site after the battle of Muhi . In 1255 a hill called Sumugy is mentioned in a register of the basic boundaries of the Jasov monastery , then in 1345 the village of Sumugy , which belonged to the king. This year there is a report about a toll station that was on the way between Torna and Košice . In 1710, almost the entire village died out as a result of a devastating plague epidemic . In 1777 the place received the newly founded bishopric of Rosenau . In 1851 a large Magyar village with 1234 inhabitants is mentioned.
Until 1919 the place in Abaúj-Torna County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia. On the basis of the First Vienna Arbitration Award , he was again in Hungary from 1938 to 1945.
The name comes from the Hungarian word som (German cornel cherry , Slov. Drieň ), which also forms the basis for the Slovak name Drienovec, which was only introduced in 1948 for national political reasons. Both versions of the name mean something like "place where cornel cherries grow".
