In 1828 there were 74 houses and 595 inhabitants who were employed in agriculture.

Until 1918/1919, the place in Gemer and Kleinhont counties belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. Thus the place called Linkartovce in Slovak at that time became a border town, at the train station on the railway line Bánréve – Fiľakovo a border and customs post was built. Between 1938 and 1944 he was again in Hungary due to the First Vienna Arbitration .
