It is located in Nitrianska pahorkatina ( Nitra hill country ), a part of the Danube hill country . Larger cities in the area are Nitra (about 20 km northeast) and Šaľa (about 10 km southwest). In addition to the main town, the municipality also includes Gorazdov , which is south of the main town .

The place was first mentioned in writing in 1113 as villa Missenic .
In 1951, for national political reasons, the place was renamed Sládečkovce in honor of Michal Sládeček , a farm worker who was injured during a strike by farm workers on the Hrúšťov manor and who died as a result. This was reversed in 1991.
