History
The surroundings of the village of Opoj were a suitable place for settlement in prehistorc times, thanks to the ubiquitous water. The oldest remains of human activity in the surroundings of Opoj are finds from the Old Stone Age, from a period of approximately 38,000 years. The first finds from the cadastral area of Opoj come directly from the New Stone Age, defined by the years 5000 BC to 3300 BC. From 550 AD, the first Slavs penetrated this territory. Under their pressure, part of the original Germanic ethnic group that was located here disintegrated. In 833, the new state entity of Great Moravia emerged by merging the Principalities of Nitra and Moravia . This entity is also extremely important for understanding the history of the surroundings of Opoj, because it was during this period that the Slavs founded a large lowland fort near Dudváh. The first known written mention of Opoy is found in a document of the Nitra Chapter from 1266. The content of the document concerns the sale of part of the property of Majcichov. In the document of the Bratislava Chapter from 1278, which describes the borders of Zeleneč, Slovakia, “terra Opoy” is mentioned as the property of Bratislava Castle. [5] [6]
