Following the [[Hungarian Revolution of 1956]] collapse, [[SFR Yugoslav]] communist authorities accepted refugees from the [[Hungarian People's Republic]], settling them to Gerovo, [[Osijek]], [[Mataruška Banja]], and [[Niška Banja]].{{cite journal |last1=Kovács |first1=Attila |last2=Nećak |first2=Dušan |last3=Režek |first3=Mateja |last4=Brezigar |first4=Sara |date=2009 |title=Madžarska begunska problematika leta 1956 - primer Jugoslavije in Slovenije |trans-title= |journal=Razprave in gradivo - Inštitut za narodnostna vprašanja (1990) |publisher=Inštitut za narodnostna vprašanja |place=[[Ljubljana]], [[Slovenia]] |volume=58 |issue=1 |pages=196-247 |ISSN= |language=sl |url=https://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:DOC-36NMMQNQ }} A total of 1.735 Hungarian refugees were settled in the village.
