Nesvady (until 1948 Slovak "Nasvad"; Hungarian Naszvad ) is a town in southern Slovakia in Nitriansky kraj , Okres Komárno on the bank of the Nitra River (Neutra). As of December 31, 2019, the place had 5049 inhabitants.
History and name
The area is an old settlement area. There are finds from the Neolithic , Eneolithic and Bronze Age , as well as settlements from the Hallstatt , La Tène , Roman and early Slavic times.
The village was first mentioned in 1269 as Novum Naswod . In 1311 the place was occupied by Matthäus Csák and in 1416 it was granted city rights. In 1554 the Turks devastated the place. Until 1918 it belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary , then to the newly founded Czechoslovakia , in between briefly again from 1938 to 1945 to Hungary (due to the First Vienna Arbitration ).
The Hungarian name Nas (z) vad is derived from the Slavic / Slovak - used as the official name since 1948 - name Nesvady (cf. Polish Swadna, Niewadovo, etc.), in that the -y is regularly omitted in the Hungarian language and that -e- is regularly replaced by -a- due to vowel harmony .
On January 1, 2020, Nesvady was promoted to town by resolution of the National Council of the Slovak Republic of October 15, 2019.
population
Today, 58.97% Magyars and 4.65% Roma live in the village alongside Slovaks . Some of the Magyars were exchanged for Slovaks from Hungary as part of the Czechoslovak-Hungarian population exchange after the Second World War .
The main denominations are Roman Catholic (60%, mostly Hungary) and Evangelical Lutheran (27%, mostly Slovaks who moved from Hungary as part of the population exchange).
economy
The economy is characterized by predominantly classic agricultural production such as grain cultivation and animal husbandry. Since the fall of the Wall, vegetables have been processed on site. The nearby town of Nové Zámky and the district capital attract around 40% of the population to commute.

The place is divided into the following 4 districts:
- Aňala (Hungarian Anyala )
- Aňalské Záhrady
