History
Evidence of human habitation in the village dates back to the Neolithic period, with archeological excavations indicating that its inhabitants belonged to the Linear Pottery culture. During the Great Moravian period, Hrušovany was populated by Slavs.
The town was first mentioned under the Hungarian name "Kurtveles'" in 1318, and in 1392 the town was documented in diplomas as "Kerthuely". The town fell under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Nitra, and beginning in 1392, was a part of the Hungarian House of Apponyi.
A Roman Catholic Church was constructed in the 17th century, and was extensively renovated in 1736. The church's belfry was constructed in the mid 19th century. The town was devastated by repeated fires in the years 1825, 1835, and 1889. Its inhabitants subsisted on agriculture and viticulture.
Following the Treaty of Trianon, the town was reassigned from Nyitra County in the Kingdom of Hungary, to become a part of Topoľčany District, in the newly formed country of Slovakia.
