In the first documents, the name of the village appears as often as Bory or Bury. According to a comparison of historical local names around 1773, the name of the village was written as Bory and Boór, in 1808 as Bory - Bori. In 1837 and since 1873 it is referred to as Bori. In the monograph of Károly Kiss and in the documents of the Calvinist ecclesial community, the name of the village also appeared in the form of Nemesbori.
On the right and left bank of the Búr stream, there are Tertiary sediments and andesitic tuffites in the area, which are covered with loess clays suitable for cultivation. Over the centuries, it was also known for its quarry, soft, sandstone blue and white stone were mined in the mines of the village. Of these, most family houses and larger farm buildings were built: granaries, barns. There was also a sand and clay mine in the village.
Fruit growing was once important in the village. This is indicated by the district names (Pri brekyniach, Liskovcová strana, hrušková dolina, Sliváň) and several vineyards.
The authors of the geographical description of the county recommend seeing an 80-meter-high limestone sediment formed by mineral water springs in the vicinity of remote Borov.
Cane also grew in the marshy places of the Búrská valley, it was mown fresh and fed to animals. The stream used to power a mill, and a Bor mill operated near the town a few decades ago. The village also had an excellent windmill, which it operated out of the farm.
