Henckovce was founded under
Vlach law. In
historical records the village was first mentioned in 1470 when some
Germans settled there. The
Bebek family ruled the village in the past and here transferred
Rusyn colonists known as
Walachian. Before the establishment of independent
Czechoslovakia in 1918, Henckovce was part of
Gömör and Kishont County within the
Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the
Slovak Republic. == Geography ==
