In the 9th century, the territory of Vojka nad Dunajom became part of the
Kingdom of Hungary. In
historical records the
village was first mentioned in 1186. After the
Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918,
Czechoslovak and
French troops occupied the area, which despite the majority Hungarian populations of southern Slovakia, and without plebiscite, would later be annexed with the
Treaty of Trianon in 1920. Between 1938 and 1945 Vojka nad Dunajom once more became part of Hungary through the
First Vienna Award. From 1945 until the
Velvet Divorce, it was part of
Czechoslovakia. Since then it has been part of Slovakia. The town bears the name of
Vajk, the pagan name of
St. Stephen of Hungary, first King of
Hungary. In 2005, villagers erected a statue of the Saint in front of the local Catholic Church. == Geography ==
