history
Today's community (literally means "New Life") was created in 1960 through the merger of the following four places:
- Eliášovce (Hungarian and until 1948 Slovak Illésháza , first mentioned in 1238)
- Malý Mager (German Kleinmagendorf , Hungarian Kismagyar , first mentioned in 1298, part of Tonkovce since 1940 and no longer part of the municipality today)
- Tonkovce (Hungarian and until 1948 Slovak Tonkháza , first mentioned in 1308)
- Vojtechovce (Hungarian and up to 1948 Slovak Bélvata , first mentioned in 1239)
Significant families who ruled these places in the past were Illesházy , Szerhásházy , Pálffy , Salamon and Olgyay .
All four places that were in Pressburg County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1918/1919 and then came to Czechoslovakia . On the basis of the First Vienna Arbitration Award , they belonged again to Hungary from 1938 to 1945.
Significant historical buildings of the village are the Gothic Peter and Paul Church, built in the 15th century and renovated in the 18th century in the Classicist style (Eliášovce part of the municipality) and a baroque country castle with a park from the beginning of the 18th century (Tonkovce municipality).
