It was created as an extension of the neighboring village of Šemša, which belonged to the sphere of influence of the lords of the Spiš Castle . The place name was derived from the Slavic personal name Hodkov . About Hatkocz (1630), Hatkowcze (1786) and Hadkovce (until 1927) the name gradually developed into today's Hodkovce . In 1427 there were nine farms in the then scattered settlement of Hodkovce. After the Turkish invasions and especially after the battle of Mohács, Hungarians pushed north as new settlers joined the exclusively Slovak population .

After the First Vienna Arbitration , these communities were once again in Hungary from 1938 to 1945.
