first mention in the documents dates back to 1389. It is thought that Slavic tribes lived here who fought with the Tatars, and later with the Hungarian feudal lords. The Bailova River which flows into the Tisza River, was the location of a large massacre there during the war with the Tatars, in which many people died. The village was linked to the construction of Khust Castle, which allegedly guarded the "Salt Way", which ran along the banks of the Tisza from Aknaszlatina (today Solotvyno), deep into the Hungarian Empire.
This is evidenced by the name of the street in the village, which is still called "Tatar" by locals (A. Hodynky Street, near the primary school). The street was named due to the camping location of the Tatar army, which moved from east to west, plundering villages.
Prior to World War II, there was a Jewish population established in the village. Like other Jews in the Khust region, they were departed to and killed at Auschwitz by May, 1944. There is a Jewish cemetery in the village. It dates to 1865.
