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.

In year 2021 was 1736 people by religion 1196 from Roman Catholic Church, 317 from None, 162 from Not found out, 17 from Evangelical Church, 13 from Christian Congregations in Slovakia, 11 from Calvinist Church, 7 from Greek Catholic Church, 5 from Apostolic Church, 3 from United Methodist Church, 2 from Buddhism, 1 from Other and not ascertained christian church, 1 from Other and 1 from Hinduism.

In the 9th century, the territory of Tallós became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1646. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, it was part of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area, later acknowledged internationally by the Treaty of Trianon. Between 1938 and 1945 Tallós once more became part of Miklós Horthy's Hungary through the First Vienna Award. From 1945 until the Velvet Divorce, it was part of Czechoslovakia. Since then it has been part of Slovakia.
