In the 9th century, the territory of Dedina Mládeže became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area, later acknowledged internationally by the Treaty of Trianon.

Since then it has been part of Slovakia.

The village was founded by youth volunteers building the Trať Mládeže in 1949 as a settlement within Kolárovo. In 1954, it became an independent settlement, which however also included parts of the villages Komoča, Neded and Zemné.
