history

In the 9th and 10th to 12th centuries there was a Slavic settlement in today's municipality. A village is mentioned in a document from 1249 as Salasan (today Slovakized as Zalužany ), which belonged to the Spiš chapter. There was a manor house and a Gothic church there. This town disappeared in the early 16th century; around half of the same century a new place was built, which was called Nemessan in 1570 . This belonged to various nobles, including Réthy and Nemessány .

In 1787 there were 26 houses and 175 inhabitants and in 1828 there were 29 houses and 211 inhabitants who were employed in agriculture.

Until 1918 the place in Zips County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia.
