Vrbov (Template:Langx, Template:Langx, Template:Langx) is a village and municipality in the Kežmarok District in the Prešov Region of Slovakia.[1]
History
The first surviving mention was in a charter from 1251, when the Slavic village of Werbew was noted in a description of boundaries. In 1268, the German village "villa Menhardi" was noted. The two villages merged around 1271 and the resulting small town had a German character till 1945 when the German population was expelled. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Vrbov was part of Szepes County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. On 27 January 1945, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Vrbov in the course of the Western Carpathian offensive and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.
