History

In 1340, it was the estate of Zalonai Tekus and later became part of the Torna manor. In 1409, King Sigismund granted the estate to Pál Besenyei of Erdegei, the Croatian ban, and István Berencsi (Berenchi). Later, it was pledged to Antal Orros of Becskeháza (Rechasa). It was an estate in Abaúj County.

In 1476, Imre Szapolyai (Zapolya), the ispán of Szepes, purchased part of the village. In 1539, King Ferdinand granted it as a donation to Gáspár Horváth of Vingárt, the royal chamberlain, as part of the Tornai manor. After his death, Gáspár Magócsi acquired the estate.

By 1569, Viszló was recorded as an independent village in the Abafi tithe register. During the 16th century, it was owned by the Barius family and later became a Rákóczi estate. Half of the village belonged to the Tornai manor, as stated in a donation letter from Gábor Bethlen.

In the 17th century, the estate was in the hands of the Kátai family. Part of it was pledged to Miklós Keglevich and later to Ferenc Bakonyi. In 1647, Zsigmond Komjáthy owned the village, which was annexed to the fortress of Szendrő, thereby becoming part of Borsod County.

In 1662, Miklós Keglevich received a new donation for his estate, including Viszló. In the document, the name was mistakenly written as Vizsoly. In 1677, Emperor Leopold I reissued the donation letter to Keglevich.

Around 1880, it was still a Keglevich estate, but in that same year, Margrave Hippolyt Csáky-Pallavicini became its owner. In 1906, the properties were auctioned, and the farmers of Viszló purchased them along with the associated ecclesiastical obligations. It is said that one of the margraves of the family is buried in Viszló.

Also noteworthy is Köbli, an area belonging to the village. Its written history predates that of Viszló and was already mentioned in 1299 under the name Kubyli. Between 1700 and 1720, it was an independent village.

In 1913, the small municipality had 57 houses and 349 inhabitants on an area of 1,930 cadastral yokes. At that time, it belonged to the Edelény district in Borsod County.
