Cerové, also known as Malé Šenkvice ("Little Šenkvice") or Malé Čaníkovce ("Little Čaníkovce"), is a suburb of Šenkvice, Slovakia, until 1964 an independent village. History It was originally an independent village, newly founded by Count István Ilésházy in 1594 as a Croatian refugees settlement. Its oldest known name is Sisek, the later name was Malé Šenkvice. Its inhabitants were peasants who had the same origin as the peasants from (Veľké) Šenkvice ("Big Šenkvice"). They were expelled from Croatia at the same time as the Veľkošenkvičans and settled in the village of Tárnok, and from there Ilésházy relocated them to the new village – Sisek. In 1964, the village was merged with (then) neighboring village Veľké Čaníkovce (Veľké Šenkvice), which gave rise to today's Šenkvice.

Šenkvice
Šenkvice () is a village and municipality in central Slovakia in Pezinok District in the Bratislava region. The town of over 5,300 people lies east of Pezinok and south of Modra, and is connected to each via a main road. Another road connects Šenkvice to Blatné, which lies about five kilometers (three miles) south-east. Name and etymology The name derives from a Slavic personal name ''Čaník'' (1256, ''villa Chanuk''). The German colonists adopted the Slovak name (probably ''Čaníkovce'') as ''Sankawych'', ''Sankavich'' (1390) and finally as ''Schenkowitz'', ''Schenkwitz''. In the 16th century, the village was abandoned and resettled by the Croatians who adopted the German name and changed it to ''Šenkvice''. This became also the Slovak name. History Early settlements from the Neolithic and Bronze Age were found in the town, as well as signs of human activity during Ancient Roman times. The first written record of the village can be found in a letter by the Hungarian k ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Blatné
Blatné () is a mid-sized village in Senec District in the Bratislava Region of western Slovakia, about 5 km north of Senec. It lies on the fork of roads connecting Senec with Trnava and Senec with Modra and Pezinok. Currently, the village has around 1,500 inhabitants. History The name of the village, Blatné, was derived from the Slovak word for mud, Blato. The area around the town has been very flat and muddy, thus the name. Prior to 1948, the village has often been referred to as Šarfia, an approximate Hungarian translation. Even though the current name has been officially established in 1948 and the town has a negligible Hungarian minority, most inhabitants still refer to the village as Šarfia. Recent archeological digs found marks of habitation as early as sixth millennium BC. In addition to habitation marks, a burial ground was found. In 2001, another burial ground, this time from Bronze Age, was found. The first written reference to Blatné was made in the 13th ...

Slovak Car Registration Plates
Vehicles registered in Slovakia were generally assigned to one of the districts (''okres'') and from 1997 until 2022, the license plate coding () generally consisted of seven characters and takes the form XX-NNNLL, where XX was a two letter code corresponding to the district, NNN was a three digit number and LL were two additional letters (assigned alphabetically). From January 2023, a new state-wide numbering scheme was introduced, preserving the same layout, but replacing the initial two-letter district code with arbitrary letters of the alphabet (assigned alphabetically, starting with AA). Other changes include new font and a smaller coat of arms. Appearance There are three design varieties that are in valid use. * Between 1 April 1997 and 30 April 2004, the plates contained the Coat of Arms of Slovakia in the top left corner and the country code SK in the bottom left.

Village
A village is a human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Although villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church.-4; we might wonder whether there's a point at which it's appropriate to talk of the beginnings of French, that is, when it wa ...

Croatians
The Croats (; , ) are a South Slavic ethnic group native to Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and other neighboring countries in Central and Southeastern Europe who share a common Croatian ancestry, culture, history and language. They also form a sizeable minority in several neighboring countries, namely Slovenia, Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia. Due to political, social and economic reasons, many Croats migrated to North and South America as well as New Zealand and later Australia, establishing a diaspora in the aftermath of World War II, with grassroots assistance from earlier communities and the Catholic Church. In Croatia (the nation state), 3.9 million people identify themselves as Croats, and constitute about 90.4% of the population. Another 553,000 live in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where they are one of the three constituent ethnic groups, predominantly living in Western Herzegovina, Central Bosnia and ...
