In 1428 the Petneházi family and in 1435 the Jármi family also owned the settlement. In 1551, Demeter Oroszi also received a share as a royal gift. In 1566, the village was destroyed by the Tartar auxiliaries of the Turks. In 1599, the Transylvanian princely councilor Miklós Zólyomi of Alesi acquired a share of the land by exchange. Between 1600 and 1676 several of its owners were recorded. In 1800, the families of Kölcsei, Szarka, Vincze, Gacsályi and Matolcsi, among others, had a larger estate here.
