History

Nemti's name is mentioned for the first time in a certificate in 1227, in its current form. Péter Nemti was the owner of the settlement in 1331. The papal tithe list of 1332-37 already mentions a church named after Saint Martin. King Sigismund donated the village to the Derencsényi family in 1413. It was owned by Sigismund Karthaly in 1548. The village was mentioned as "Németi" in a Ottoman tax census in 1579. Only 2 in 1663-64, 7 in 1715, and 9 Slovak families lived in 1720 in Nemti. The settlement was owned by Count Antal Grassalkovich in 1770, and then by Count György Károlyi [hu] after 1840. Clay mining began at the beginning of the 20th century. 21 of its 991 inhabitants were Slovaks in 1910, and in these years the settlement's kindergarten, which still operates today, was established. Ilonabánya, which until 1939 belonged to Kisterenye, was annexed by Nemti. A revolutionary workers' council was formed in the mine in 1956, which was followed by retaliation. After 1990 the mine was closed and in the settlement, a mining museum were established. And a folk museum presenting the Palóc traditions.[1] The village is part of the Novohrad-Nógrád Geopark with the clay mine.[2]
