Zámutov (Hungarian Opálhegy - until 1907 Zamutó ) is a municipality in the Okres Vranov nad Topľou of the Prešovský kraj in eastern Slovakia . The number of inhabitants on December 31, 2010 was 2996 people.
geography
The municipality is located in the eastern foothills of the Slanské vrchy on the brook Zámutovský potok and is 11 kilometers west of the town of Vranov nad Topľou . In terms of traffic, the place can be reached via a district road from the neighboring town of Čaklov , which is on the main road 18 .
history
The place was founded in the early 14th century by a mayor and is mentioned for the first time in 1402 as Zamuth . It was part of the Čičava Castle estate . After the Rozgony family , who owned the castle, died out in 1523, the place came to the Báthory family and changed hands from the 17th century to Barkoczy , Almássy and Szirmay .
The population was engaged in agriculture, forestry and charcoal burning. There were also two small mills and a schnapps distillery and at times lignite, iron ore and opals were mined in the municipality. The Hungarian name used from 1907 onwards still reminds of the opal mining (Opálhegy literally means "opal mountain").
Zámutov is also associated with the so-called East Slovak Peasant Uprising of 1831, as the place was one of the centers of the rebels.
Until 1918 the place was in Semplin County in the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to Czechoslovakia , or today Slovakia.
