At the end of the 17th century the village was burned down and devastated, but then repopulated. In 1828 there were 129 houses and 912 inhabitants who lived from agriculture, viticulture, horse breeding and livestock.
Until 1918/1919, the place in Bars County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. Due to the First Vienna Arbitration Award , he was again in Hungary from 1938 to 1945.
In 1948 the name Fíš, derived from the Hungarian, was replaced by the Slavic variant Trávnica . Thus the place name means something like "Grasdorf".
