Sereď (pronunciationⓘ is a town in southern Slovakia near Trnava, on the right bank of the Váh River on the Danubian Lowland. It has around 15,500 inhabitants.

History

The town was first mentioned in 1313 as Zereth.[3] In the Middle Ages, it was on a trade route called the "Bohemian Road" that connected Buda to Prague, along the Váh river. Because of its location, the town had livestock and grain markets, and many cattle passed through each year. Its trading importance ended in 1846 when a railway was built between Bratislava and Trnava. But the tradition of the Seredian market and beer festival continued every year on June 24th, St. John Baptist's Day.[4][5]

Sered was also a busy raft port and waterway until 1943, when a dam was built on the Váh river at Nosice. Rafts carried wood and salt from Poland, and a large salt warehouse was set up here. The town's good location also attracted industry, and in 1845, a sugar refinery was opened, which later became a coffee processing and baking plant.[6]

In 1910, the town had 5,371 people, including 2,941 Slovaks, 1,943 Hungarians, and 429 Germans. Until 1918, it was part of the Galánta District in Pozsony County, Hungary. After World War I, in 1920, the town became part of Czechoslovakia.[4]
