Zombor (Hungarian Zobor - older also Zombor ) is a municipality in the Okres Veľký Krtíš about 22 kilometers southeast of the capital Veľký Krtíš on the edge of the Ipeľ valley basin in southern Slovakia , near the border with Hungary.
The place was first mentioned in 1327 as Zobor . In older documents it is called Zobor / Zubor / Zubur ; the name is derived from the Slovak word "zub (o) r" (Old Slavic about "zombr") for bison .
Until 1918 the community belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary and then came to the newly formed Czechoslovakia . She came back to Hungary for a short time from 1938 to 1945 through the First Vienna Arbitration .
The population lives mainly from agriculture, cattle breeding and viticulture and consists mainly of Slovaks ; there is a small Hungarian minority (around 5% in 2001).
There is a classicist church in the village, which was built between 1841 and 1845, as well as a few folk houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries and a cultural center from 1963.
