Location of Vranov nad Topľou District in the Prešov Region.

History

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1363.

Many families from Ondavske Matiasovce and neighboring villages of Benkovce and Tovarne would migrate from the Slovakia to the United States in the early 20th century. The Dudas family has been researched as a known family to have strong genealogical roots in these three villages. An example would be Michael Dudas (1882-1938), who migrated in the early 20th century to settle in Slovak and Polish neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His wife, Maria, and young child, Paul, would follow shortly after. Migration from villages in Slovakia, like Ondavske Matiasovce, were common around the fall of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

gollark: Old thing was around when I was growing up. New thing was NOT. The implications are obvious.
gollark: > i dont get why people think that just going back to the old days before phones and computers and shit would make anything betterBecause new thing bad old thing good, OBVIOUSLY?
gollark: I mean, cheap zero-carbon-dioxide power wouldn't fix EVERYTHING, but it would solve many of the climate-change-y issues we have, more so over time as many of the solutions to things require plentiful electricity.
gollark: Environmental damage is partly a fixable technical problem and partly a social one, because people are SILLY DODECAHEDRA who will not accept the obvious solution (to some things) of nuclear power. I'm also not convinced that reverting to horrible premodern living standards would *reduce* depression.
gollark: Hmm, this is quite long.
