The village of Kuzma

The place is first mentioned in 1387 as Zalocha and Zaloucha and belonged to the Dobra lordship , today's Neuhaus am Klausenbach in southern Burgenland. With the acquisition of this lordship in the year mentioned, the Széchy rounded off their holdings in the region, because as early as 1365 they had become lords of the castle and lordship of Felsölendva (today Grad ).

In the 15th century the settlement is said to have received a chapel, which was then consecrated to the brothers Cosmas and Damian . In the land register of the Dobra / Neuhaus lordship from 1697, the village is mentioned among 26 listed localities. At that time, the estate was owned by the Batthyány family .

In a protocol of the Győr / Raab diocese the settlement is named Szent Kozma in 1698 and the village church of Saint Cosmas and Damian is mentioned as a branch church of the parish Felsölendva / Grad. The branch church was a pastoral care center for the population of Fölsö et alsó Dolics / Dolič , Mattyásocz / Matjaševci and Szent Kozma / Kuzma.

In 1890 the village was officially called Kuzma and had 407 inhabitants, 297 of whom claimed to be Slovenes, 88 as Germans, 4 as Hungarians, and 18 stated another nationality. The place belonged to the Muraszombat district (today Murska Sobota ) of Eisenburg / Vas county.

The Trianon Treaty gave the village to the Kingdom of SHS . For the place now officially named Kuzdoblanje, the following data were determined in the census on January 31, 1921: 471 Slovenes, 83 Hungarians and one other ethnic group; Of these 555 residents, 362 were Catholics and 193 were Protestants.

The 1931 census found 549 inhabitants, in 1961 there were 532 and the following figures are known for 1971: 500 inhabitants, 109 houses, 112 households and 385 villagers who lived on income from agriculture.
