In the 11th century, the territory of Patince became part of the Kingdom of Hungary.

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 Patince once more became part of Miklós Horthy's Hungary through the First Vienna Award.
