The town was founded by King Béla IV around 1250. In 1284 it was called "villa Sancti Martini". The town got its name from the patron saint of the church. The town became the cultural, political center of the Slovakians in Hungary in the last century. In this city was founded the Matica Slovenská - Mother of Slovakian Culture Association in 1861.
