The village was destroyed among many other Hungarian settlements during the Tatárjárás (Mongol invasion of Europe). The first lord to rule over Farmos and in the south and central part of Hungary was Máté Csák from 1311, then after his death the Káta family clan gained authority.

In around 1700, several families from Zólyom County (Now part of Slovakia) were immigrated to the village, who had been hungarianized within a few decades.
