The village is located almost in the geometric center of Záhorie. The soil in the area is sandy, only near Myjava is better. The village is one of the oldest villages in Záhorie, which is already mentioned by the well-known Roman historian PC Tacitus as Sarmatia. This area was inhabited by Slavic tribes who settled here to protect the borders. Among others, Sikuli, Plavci and Buri stood out. Until the 13th century, reliable information about this area is not known. The first written mention of the village comes from 1394, from the records of the newly established land administration, which complements the already functioning church administration. The oldest names Zenthmiklos and Zenthpeter are on the deed of the Bratislava Chapter from June 3, 1394. According to this deed and other documents, Borský Mikuláš belonged as a serf village of Ostriež castle. Later, the village belonged to the Holíč estate and its ruling Czoborov family, who sold it to the Habsburgs. In the 16th century, the Habans settled here, engaged in pottery and the production of knives. To this day, a part of the village called Habány reminds us of them. The village was not spared devastating Turkish raids, it was burned several times and many people were abducted. In the 17th century, the Stupava estate began with the afforestation of Záhorie and the surroundings of our villages. A house was built for them - today the inn U Grajze, which is one of the oldest buildings in the village. The patron saint of the village was St. Nicholas, who in the 18th century also got into the emblem of the village. The older symbol of the village was a running fox under a pine tree. The seal with this emblem dates from 1597 and is still used today. In addition to agriculture, the inhabitants of the village traded cannabis throughout Hungary and Austria. They also worked in carpentry and joinery, but also in masonry, shoemaking and other crafts. To this day, the village is also known for growing and collecting medicinal plants.
