At that time the village was part of the Drugeth 's domain of Humenné and in 1556 had eight portals according to a tax register . The uprisings of the 17th and early 18th centuries caused so many residents to run away that in 1720 there were still 26 abandoned farms. In the 18th century the village was owned by the Csáky family and in the 19th century it was part of the Adolf Dobryanský estate . In 1828 there were 126 houses and 945 residents who were employed as carters, charcoal burners and cattle keepers, plus there was a quarry. During the First World War , skirmishes took place in the municipality, as can be seen today in two military cemeteries.
