The place was founded in the 16th century during Wallachian colonization in the estate of the Muráň Castle , on the site of an old settlement. He is first mentioned in 1611 as Nagypatak , after the stream on the right bank. The name Závadka first appears in 1617 and then in forms such as Zavodka , Závadka (1650), and Zawatka (1773). The place received the Wallachian law and the first inhabitants came from surrounding villages, as well as from the Liptov and Arwa regions and were engaged in cattle and sheep breeding and forestry. In the late 18th century, iron ore was mined in the village. There were three hammer mills in operation in the 19th century and one rolling mill since 1860. The place name Ágostonlak, which was Magyarized in 1907, refers to August von Sachsen-Coburg and Gotha , whose family held the land for a long time.
