history
Svodín was created in 1925 by the merger of two places: Maďarský Seldín (Hungarian Magyarszőgyén ) and Nemecký Seldín (Hungarian Németszőgyén ).
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1156 as Scoudou under Count Seyfried von Sceuden, in 1242 the old place was completely destroyed during the Mongol invasion and afterwards a German one, which was founded by coming German colonists, emerged from the previously Hungarian place. In 1282 the German part is mentioned as Sceuden hospitum Theutonica , while the Hungarian part is mentioned in 1287 as Ungarice villa Sceudem . Both places were affected again in 1295 by the army of the Hunt-Poznan family.
The Hungarian part changed hands over the centuries. In 1427 the place was granted market rights and then developed as a minor town. The main occupation was agriculture, at the beginning of the 20th century there was a brick factory.
The German part belonged to the Archdiocese of Gran until the end of the 19th century. The original German inhabitants were largely assimilated by the Magyar population.
Both places in Gran County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1919 and then came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia . 1938–45 the united community came again to Hungary on the basis of the First Vienna Arbitration .
The most famous Neolithic circular moat in Slovakia is located in Svodín .
