Kráľová nad Váhom (until the 19th century in Slovak "Kráľová"; German Waagkönigsdorf , Hungarian Vágkirályfa - until 1873 Vágkirályfalu ) is a municipality in Okres Šaľa within the Nitriansky kraj in Slovakia with about 1700 inhabitants.
geography
The municipality is located in the Slovakian Danube lowlands on the lower reaches of the longest Slovak river Waag , on its right bank. Above the village, the river is stowed in the Kráľová reservoir . Kráľová nad Váhom is three kilometers from Šaľa and 60 kilometers from the capital Bratislava .
history
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in a document from the year 1002 as Terra Wag , which was, however, a name for a wider area. Erroneously, the mention in the Zobor documents from the year 1113 as Crali is assigned to the place, but refers to the place Horná Kráľová . In 1252, however, an Eclessia in honorem betae Elisabeth , i.e. parish of St. Elisabeth, is mentioned in the village.
During the Turkish wars, the place remained in the unoccupied part of Hungary, but was affected several times. In addition to agriculture, there was also a mill; In 1715 three mills on the Waag are occupied. In 1888, the construction of the dykes along the Waag began, which in the past flooded the place several times.
Until 1919 the place was in Neutra County within the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia. From 1938 to 1945 it belonged again to Hungary due to the First Vienna Arbitration .
