_GL_1.2.jpg)
Today's place was built on the site of an older village, mentioned in writing in 1315 as Petri Villa (today Slovakized as Petrova Ves ), in 1342 as Villa Lapidis (Latin lapis = stone). It belonged to the territory of the Lublauer Burg and was pledged with this to the Polish crown from 1412 to 1772 . According to a list of Polish royal estates from 1562, the village was founded under Wallachian law. In 1567 six Russians from the lost village were settled in the new village .
In 1828 there were 329 houses and 2351 inhabitants, who were mainly employed in agriculture, wire binding and, to a lesser extent, in handicrafts. However, poverty and a lack of job opportunities resulted in waves of emigration, especially in the late 19th century.
