Geography

The municipality lies at an elevation of 123 metres and covers an area of 14.856 km². The village is located around 12 km west of Galanta.

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1221 as Fudemus. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area, later acknowledged internationally by the Treaty of Trianon. Between 1938 and 1945 Veľké Úľany once more became part of Miklós Horthy's Hungary through the First Vienna Award. From 1945 until the Velvet Divorce, it was part of Czechoslovakia.
