The village, which is the largest in the Komárno district with more than 5,000 inhabitants, already had market law in the first half of the fifteenth century. Even today, it is an important seat with its own thermal swimming pool. Nesvady lies on the border of the rivers Nitra and Zittau in the fertile plain of the Danube plain. The first written mention dates from 1269, when they are mentioned under the name Novum Naswod as a territorial unit belonging to the Esztergom Archdiocese. According to surviving documents, in 1416 they were given the right to organize landscape markets twice a year. In 1572 they are listed in the records as an agricultural settlement with city fair rights, and from 1690 there is a written record of its own seal. Thanks to its advantageous location and favorable climatic conditions, the inhabitants of the village have been engaged in agriculture, especially vegetable growing, from the very beginning. Crafts such as weaving, basket weaving and šoupolia knitting were also partially represented. At the beginning of the 20th century, Nesvady had its own notary, a church school, a post office, a savings bank and other institutions. They were widely known for growing peppers and operating a roller mill. In order to preserve the cultural heritage, they established a house of folk traditions in the village in 2005, the exposition of which represents the current generation of agricultural and craft skills of its ancestors.
