history

Smilno was first mentioned in writing in 1250 as Zemelnye and was then owned by the Aba family before it came to the Tekules in 1269 . For the next 95 years Smilno was the seat of a manor that comprised a total of ten villages; In 1364 it became part of the Makovica estate , which was ruled by the Czudar family. In 1427 a total of 45 porta are recorded, which at that time corresponded to a large village. But by the middle of the 15th century only 24 households were cultivating the arable land and in 1492 only ten.
