Jelšovce (until 1948 in Slovak "Jagersek" - until 1927 "Jagerseg"; in Hungarian Nyitraegerszeg - until 1892 Egerszeg ) is a Slovak municipality in Okres Nitra and Nitriansky kraj with 994 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019).
geography
The municipality is located in the southern part of the Nitrianska pahorkatina (part of the Danube Hills ) on the right bank of the Nitra , not far from the southwestern foothills of the Tribeč Mountains . The center of the village is at an altitude of 148 m nm and is ten kilometers from Nitra .
Neighboring municipalities are Ľudovítová in the north, Podhorany in the east, Nitra ( Dražovce district ) in the south, Čakajovce in the south-west and Šurianky in the north-west.
history
The archaeological investigation, which has been ongoing since 1982, shows that today's area was settled in the Neolithic Age (around 4500 BC) with a settlement of the Baden culture . Further evidence comes from the Bronze, Hallstatt and Latène Ages. The Slavic ancestors of today's Slovaks settled in the 9th century.
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1326 as Egurzegh and belonged to the Neutra Chapter, later partly to the Tyrnau estate of the Archdiocese of Gran . The village was initially settled by the Kipchaks . The parish is mentioned for the first time in 1332. In 1549 the archbishopric had a total of 28 portals and two mills in town. During the construction of the Neuhäusel Fortress (now Nové Zámky ), the villagers had to provide help. In 1828 there were 137 houses and 958 inhabitants who were employed in agriculture.
Until 1918, the place in Neutra County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. In 1948 the Hungarian name Jagersek was transferred to Jelšovce , with the Hungarian word éger for an alder (cf. Eger ) being translated into Slovak jelša . Szeg , however, referred to a fish place.
