Encyclopedia : S : SN : SNI : Snina

Snina (Hungarian: Szinna) is the easternmost town in Slovakia placed at the confluence of the Cirocha river and the small river Pčolinka in the valley between the Beskydy foothills and the Vihorlat mountain.

History

The oldest written records mentioning Snina date back to 1343. Snina as an oppidum (small town) is mentioned in port records ("porta" meaning the gate to the court yard or several serf houses) beginning in 1585. In 1598 the first census of houses was done and in Snina there were 75 houses. Between 1570 and 1630, it is evident from port records that Snina was the seat of krajňa ("krajňa" meaning the administrative district of villages). Since 1646 Snina was called "Szinna Varossa" later "Civitas Szinna" in the archives. In 1785 Snina had 195 houses and 1,430 inhabitants.
