In 1663 the Ottoman expeditionary force, led by Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed, defeated the Habsburg Monarchy's garrison of the city of Uyvar (today known as Nové Zámky, Slovakia) and conquered the region.

In 1664, they lost the northern part along with the fortresses Hlohovec, Nitra and Levice.

The Peace of Vasvár recognised Ottoman control over the remaining part of the eyalet.

It was returned to Austria after the signing of the Treaty of Karlowitz in 1699.

Residents of Uyvar paid 50 Akçe per head for Jizya as compared with the standard rate of one gold ducat (equivalent in the period to around 200 Akçe).
