CoA and description below from the Győr-Moson-Sopron County
Atlas; HISZI-Map, 1998:
"The village was first mentioned in documents in 1274 as
"Praedlum Humuky". The village was mainly owned by
families Kanizsay, Nádasdy and Széchenyi. Large number of
Croats run away from Turkish troops were settled here from 1520.
Croat language is used only by old inhabitants, but the Croat
traditions are kept alive by folk dance enssmble and tambura
band. The village has a population of 495 persons."
The CoA of the village contains the elements of the Hungarian CoA
and the CoA of Croatia too.
