The territory of Záhorie, especially its part lying by the river Morava, has been inhabited since the time of traces of human settlement in our country. The vital artery of this region was the Morava River, where we find a continuous strip of prehistoric settlements on our left bank. The Gajar locality near Moravia provides finds that can be dated to the Neolithic, ie to the period 4000 - 3000 years before the birth. Christ. The dune, called Stolička, lay about 250 m from the river bank, at one of the best and busiest fords. The oldest pottery from the Neolithic period, ie the Late Stone Age, was found in it.
Another period of settlement of the Gajar district is the Eneolithic, which we place in the years 3000 - 1900 BC. Christ. From this time, three settlements were found in Gajary. One on the alumina behind the last bridge to the left of the road to the Austrian village of Dúrnkrut, the second on Stolička and the third on Vrablicová alone.
Finds from the Bronze Age (1500 - 1200 BC) are much richer. The entire shrimp cemetery was found in the Stolička locality. Their necks were decorated with necklaces with pieces of amber, which testifies to the fact that the settlement already had foreign relations and lively business activity at that time. Amber was transported from the Baltic Sea to the so-called amber road.
After the Bronze Age came the Iron Age, which is confirmed by further excavations in Gajary. The last phase of the Iron Age is the La Tène period. During this time, a millstone was found in Gajary na Stoličke - groves with Tyrolean limestone and an ax, which testifies to the settled peasant life.
In ancient times, the Romans built their watchtowers and observation stations on the dunes. Parts of the equipment of a Roman soldier and many Roman shards were found on the Chair.
At the time of the great migration of peoples, the Slavs settled permanently in the territory of Gajar. Not always and all of them left the previous tribes. They mingled with the newcomers for centuries, forming a group of the first ancestors of the "Pragajarans".
