In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1228 ("flumen" "Bela") in connection with its silver mines. In 1331 Fact|date=February 2007, King Bela IV invited German miners from Banská Štiavnica and the village got the German name Dilln ("Dyln, Dilln, Dylen"). The village suffered from Turkish raids during the Ottoman wars.
