Jarovce (German: Kroatisch-Jahrndorf, Croatian: Hrvatski Jandrof, Hungarian: Horvátjárfalu) is a small city part of Bratislava (Slovakia).
[edit] History
The village was first mentioned in 1208 under name Ban. During the Turkish wars many Croats settled here in the 16th century (therefore "Croatian" in the German Name to bordering Deutsch-Jahrndorf / "German"-Jahrndorf in Austria). They are still a strong minority. It belonged to Hungary until 1947 together with the neighbouring villages Rusovce (Karlburg) and Čunovo (Sarndorf). In the years 1947-1950, Jarovce administratively belonged to Rusovce. It is official city part of Bratislava since January 1, 1972.
[edit] Transport
Jarovce is located near the only motorway border crossing to Austria.
