In the past, Úľany nad Žitavou was an important railway and road junction of Požitavia. In the first official record from 1284, they are mentioned as Fedemus, during the Hungarianization in the 18th century. Födémes, Zsitvafödémes or even Fedýmeš nad Žitavou. It was not until 1948 that the official name Úľany nad Žitavou was established. The dominant and most important architectural monument of the village is the late Baroque Roman Catholic Church of St. Martin, Bishop of Tours. It was built by Count Anton Károlyi and his wife Jozef in the years 1781 - 1784. The piety of the people of Úľany is evidenced by many crosses and other monuments in the area: the white cross, the red cross, the statue of St. Anny, Sv. Trinity, St. Florian, the guardian angel, Christ of pain, St. J. Nepomuckého and pieta. The importance of the Úľany settlement was greatly influenced by the reign of Maria Theresa, especially her social and economic reforms. After 1740, the services of stagecoaches, which operated on the castle roads, developed in Úľany. The spill station disappeared only in the middle of the 19th century after the occupation of the building by the army. Half a century later, however, the railway was already operating here. In the coat of arms of the village there is a beehive on a green hill between ears of grain and black bee. Hence the current name Úľany. The village has been associated with bees and beekeeping for a long time.
