The oldest surviving charter in which the name of the village of Vága occurs in written form was created on September 1, 1259 on Csepel Island. At the request of Béla IV, King of Hungary, Palatine Roland and Ispan of Bratislava, he gave the land of the Bratislava castle serf Rexit, who died without an heir, to Damján about Vága. The land was 60 acres in size and was located in Kuzey (present-day Magyargurab, in Slovak: Velký Grob). This ; charter proves that the village of Vága already existed earlier, since the fact that Damján derived his first name from Vága proves that it was already a developed settlement at the time the charter was created. In this charter, the name of the village occurs in the form Waga. ; The document, written around May 27-31, 1326, states that the Esztergom chapter, provost Theophil, proves that Gergely ispán, son of Gergely Gyarmathi, gives his estate called Vaga in Bratislava County with all its benefits, accessories, mills and everything that is there to Bolesław Piast, Archbishop of Esztergom (1321-1328), in return for his debt. Archbishop Bolesław of Esztergom (the first high priest of the Hungarian Catholic Church) acquired and regained several estates for the Esztergom archbishopric, which was the most important church institution in the country. At the time of the acquisition of Vága (then the estate called Vaga), the neighboring Alsószerdahely (then the estate called Zerdahel) and Óny (then the land of the Bratislava castle called Ounn) were already the property of the archbishopric. ; ; "It is not only fitting, but also very important to know our past: our roots, because they say that a tree with strong, healthy roots cannot be knocked down by a storm. But rotten roots cannot withstand the wind either. Well, we, the people of Vága, are a people with strong roots, and these roots can grow even stronger if we want them to."
