The first mention of the village is from 1248, when it is mentioned as "Salgo". In 1350, Mikuláš, the son of Pavel Čorba from Šalgočka, is mentioned as a landowner. In the 16th century, the village was owned by Michal Šalgay. The village belonged to several peasant families, the families of Davidov, Dezasseov, Šándorov, Appel and Desewffy are well known. The David family, originally from Turc, built a church and a baroque mansion in the village. In 1772, Empress Maria Theresa promoted Charles David and his son Anton to baronism. The David family also had a manor in Sasinkov and property in Malý and Veľký Báb.
