Until 1919 the place belonged to the Empire Austria-Hungary or Hungary , afterwards as part of the Carpathian-Ukraine to Czechoslovakia . With the annexation he came back to Hungary in 1939–1945, from 1945 the place has been part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and since 1991 part of Ukraine.
