History
It arose in 1964 for the union of Gemerský Milhost' and Jelšavská Teplica in a unique Municipality. Gemerský Milhost' merged in the History in 1258 (1258 Polgla, 1383 Myglezpathuka, 1427 Myglizpataka). It belonged, in the order, to Zachy, Mèchy and Sáhgy noble families. In 1555 it was pillaged by Turks. Jelšavská Teplica, still, was first mentioned in 1258 (Thapolcha). In that time, it belonged to a certain Peter, Kačič Elias'son, and after to Jelšava and Muráň. It suffered because of Turks in 1556. From 1938 to 1945, both the villages were annexed by Hungary.
