history

Sása was first mentioned in writing as Sasca in 1332 ; other historical names are Nemet Pelseucz (1351), Pelsewlch (1393) and Nemethpelseuch (1410). Related to the name is the original German population who came from Saxony. Until 1351 the village belonged to the estate of Döbring Castle in nearby Dobrá Niva; in the same year it received city rights.

During the Turkish Wars there was a small anti-Turkish fortress here, where 50 men were stationed. Nevertheless, the town had to pay tribute to the Ottoman Empire . After a heavy pillage by the Turks in 1644, Sása lost the character of a town and became a simple agricultural community. In 1828 there were 85 inhabitants and 625 inhabitants who were employed in agriculture and as craftsmen.

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