Gemerská Ves (Hungarian: Gömörfalva) is a village and municipality in Revúca District in the Banská Bystrica Region of Slovakia.
Geography
The municipality lies at an altitude of 196 metres (643 ft)[3] and covers an area of 17.69 km2 (6.83 sq mi) (2024).[4]
History
It arose in 1964 for the union of the Hrkáč (Hungarian: Harkács) and Šankovice (Hungarian: Sánkfalva) in a unique municipality. Hrkáč was first mentioned, in the past, in 1274 (Harkach), when King Ladislav gave the village to Otročok. In the 16th century it suffered because of Turkish devastations. Šankovice, instead, was first mentioned in 1266 (1266 Raas, 1294 Sank, 1421 Sankfalua) and derives its name from the Slavic name Šank. It belonged to families Sánkfalvay, local feudatories, and Hösoy. It was destroyed by Turks in 1556. In the 18th century, it belonged to families Steinicher and local landowners Draskóczy. From 1938 to 1945 both the villages were annexed by Hungary.

Note on population The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live.
For example, a student is a citizen of a village because he has permanent residence there (he lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
