history
Málinec was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1212 and belonged to the dominions of various castles: Ozdín , Divín , Fülek and Salgó. In the 16th century, Málinec was ravaged by the Turks. In 1828 there are 154 houses and 1304 inhabitants.
The first glassworks began to emerge at the beginning of the 19th century, although their owners and operators often changed. The first was built in 1820 in what is now the municipality of Látky , but it was closed at the beginning of the 20th century. A glassworks was founded in Málinec itself in 1852, and four more were built in the area by the First World War. Furthermore, two steam saws, some water saws and quarries were founded. This was reflected in the population: in 1910, 6341 inhabitants were recorded in the former municipality. In a short time all the glassworks were closed again until 1932, but in 1934 the one in Málinec was re-established. The parish reached its peak in 1940, with 7635 inhabitants. After the Second World War, the population decreased sharply, as large parts of the population settled in the glassworks in the Bohemian border area and in the valley along the Hungarian border: in 1950 "only" 2793 inhabitants lived here. In 1953, the municipality of Látky spun off, in 1956 Ipeľský Potok followed , which was incorporated again in 1990. The last glassworks was finally shut down in 2003; Since then, like the surrounding region, the town has suffered from high unemployment.
