History
In the 9th century, the territory of Dolný Štál became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1111.[citation needed] Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, it became officially part of Czechoslovakia and fell within Bratislava County until 1927. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, the Czechoslovak administration returned, and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.
