The landowners were the Pati Török family, the abbot of Murakeresztúr, Bertalan Chernel of Szentjakab and Vice Treasurer János Tolnai Bornemissza, who got it from King Matthias as a grant.

In 1480 Sandrin, son of György Berzenczei, brought an action against the Török Kocsárd family because of Nagysávoly.

The symbol of the village is being designed based on its traditions, and therefore it will represent a crane from the Festetics coat of arms, and a ploughshare and a wheat ear from a seal used in the beginning of the 20th century.
