Geography

History

In the 9th century, the territory of Malé Dvorníky became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. It was an Avar settlement in the 6th century. The name of the village was first recorded in 1254 as "Odour". Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947. In 1946, a great number of local Hungarian families were deported to the Czech lands, but most of them were able to return later.
