Horné Mýto (, , until 1899 ) is a village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of southwest Slovakia.
Geography
History In the 9th century, the territory of Horné Mýto became part of the Great Moravia. In 11th it was within Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1406. Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Dunaszerdahely district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops liberated the whole area of southern Slovakia including the village. This was confirmed with victory powers France, Great Britain and the United States. After Hungary forced to agree and sign the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, it recognized officially the village as part of Czechoslovakia and fell within Bratislava County until 1927. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award returned the area to Hungary due to the Hungarian majority. After the occupation of soviets, they gave back the village to the Czechoslovaks. After World War II, First Vienna Award has been declared as never-valid agreement, confirming illegality of Hungarian occupation. After anti-nazi army liberated area in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947. In 1960, it was unified with the neighboring Trhová Hradská (Vásárút) under the name of Trhové Mýto, however, since 1990, both have formed independent municipalities again.
