Révkomárom

Révkomárom is the Hungarian name for the town of Komárno, located in southwestern Slovakia. The town historically held significant importance as a fortified city and a river port on the Danube and Váh rivers. Its strategic location made it a crucial center for trade and military operations throughout various historical periods. Révkomárom was part of the Kingdom of Hungary for centuries before the Treaty of Trianon in 1920, which ceded the territory to Czechoslovakia.

Following World War II, the town remained part of Czechoslovakia, and after its dissolution, it became part of the Slovak Republic. The Hungarian community in Révkomárom has always been substantial, and the town retains a strong cultural and linguistic connection to Hungary. The name "Rév" in Hungarian refers to a ferry or a ford, highlighting its historical role as a crossing point on the Danube. Today, Révkomárom is a significant industrial and cultural hub in Slovakia, with its historical architecture and strategic location continuing to shape its identity.
