Around this time a German village emerged next to the Slavic settlement, which over the centuries merged with the Slavic village. Poruba belonged to the estate of Weinitz Castle until the 19th century . In 1687 there were 44 houses and 354 inhabitants in Poruba, local craftsmen were then subject to the guilds of German samples . In 1787 the village had two mills, 64 houses and 477 inhabitants, in 1828 there were 70 houses and 489 inhabitants who were employed as woodcutters and farmers.
Until 1918, the place in Neutra County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia.
