history
A Roman barbarian settlement was discovered in the municipality.

In the Middle Ages this name was also used as a nobility predicate. The place was affected by the Hussites in the 15th century, as well as by the rebels against the Habsburgs and the Turks in the 17th and early 18th centuries. Until the 18th century, the place was settled by German immigrants, but over time they were absorbed into the Hungarian language group. Important owners of the place were the Farkas (in the 16th century), Forgách (in the 17th century), Bittóo , Nassvady (in the 18th century) and Pongrácz families in the 19th century.
The place in Pressburg County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918 and then came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia. 1938-45 he was again in Hungary because of the First Vienna Arbitration . In 1948 the place name was renamed Kvetoslavov for national political reasons.
