history

Roman Catholic Church in Uzovská Panica

The current place was probably built in the 12th century on the site of an older settlement; in the 13th century the area belonged to the dominion of the castle Blh . The first written mention comes from 1427 as Panith , at that time the place was owned by the Úsz family . In 1435 the Méhy family owned goods in the village, after which various landowners changed until the 18th century. During the Turkish wars the village fell into disrepair, so that in 1720 only 11 farmers lived in the village. In 1828 there were 82 houses and 646 inhabitants, in 1837 there were already 739 inhabitants. The main source of income was and is agriculture.

Until 1918/1919, the place in Gemer and Kleinhont counties belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia or now Slovakia. Between 1938 and 1944 he was again in Hungary due to the First Vienna Arbitration .

From 1964 to 1990 the neighboring town of Rokytník (now Rakytník) was part of the municipality.
