Klasov (until 1948 Slovak "Kalaz" - until 1927 "Kálaz"; Hungarian Kalász ) is a Slovak municipality in Okres Nitra and Nitriansky kraj with 1,383 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2019).
geography
The municipality is located in the middle of the hilly Žitavská pahorkatina as part of the Slovakian Danube lowlands on the Babindolský potok brook ( Žitava river system ) and has fertile black soils. The center of the village lies at an altitude of 177 m nm and is five kilometers from Vráble and 15 kilometers from Nitra .
Neighboring municipalities are Čeľadice and Malé Chyndice in the north, Veľké Chyndice in the east, Vráble in the southeast and south, Paňa in the south, Golianovo in the west and Babindol in the northwest.
history
The place was first mentioned in writing in 1156 as Qualiz and was named after an Iranian people whose members traded here in the 11th century. In 1232 the inhabitants were declared direct servants of the Hungarian king. Later the estate belonged to families such as Hunt-Poznan and Forgách in the late Middle Ages, Paluska in the 18th and Klobusiczky , Szlávy and Weisz in the 19th century. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the village was affected several times by Turkish looting and the village of Kiskalazd , mentioned for the first time in 1401, was abandoned. In 1787 there were 62 houses and 409 inhabitants who lived from agriculture and viticulture.
Until 1918, the place in Neutra County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. After the First Vienna Arbitration , it was still in Czechoslovakia, but when the first Slovak Republic was formed, it was ceded to Hungary with Veľké Chyndice and in exchange for Nová Ves nad Žitavou in a border correction and was part of the same until 1945.
In 1948 the name Kalaz was Slovakized in Klasov , where the word klas stands for an ear of wheat . From 1976 to 1996 Babindol was part of the Klasov municipality.
