For several centuries, the inhabitants of the village have considered this site as the burial place of King Taksony, after whom the village was named.
The first written mention of the village can be found in the description of the diakov district in a document from 1138, in which the village Matúškovo is mentioned as the land of the Bratislava castle people "terra civilium Posoniensium de villa locsun".
In the Middle Ages, the proximity of the Benedictine order operating in Diakovce probably had a great influence on the inhabitants of the village. The lives of the inhabitants were also affected by the struggles between the churches during the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation. This is also where the Kuruk and Imperial divisions of the anti-Habsburg national liberation struggle headed. In 1704, Prince Rákoczi, the leader of the struggle for freedom, stayed in Matúšek with his entourage.
The Turkish devastation and the state of war completely exhausted the village, which did not grow until the second half of the century. The village was administratively attached to Galanta from 1 January 1971 without the consent of the citizens, and it was not until the end of 1990 that it regained its independence.
