Greetings from Vága

The oldest surviving document in which the name of the village of Vága appears in written form was created on September 1, 1259 on Csepel Island. At the request of Béla IV, King of Hungary, Palatine of Roland and Lord 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 (now Magyargurab, in Slovak: Velký Grob). This document 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 document was created. In this document, the name of the village occurred in the form Waga.
