History

In the 9th century, the territory of Janiky became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. In historical records the name of the village was first mentioned in 1287 in the Hungarian form Janok. The Slovak form was first recorded in 1311 as Janyk. In 1940, three villages Alsójányok, Felsőjányok and Bústelek were unified creating the present-day municipality.

Until the end of World War I, it was part of Hungary and fell within the Somorja district of Pozsony County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947.
