Telgárt (Hungarian: Garamfő, called Švermovo in 1948–1990) is a village and municipality in Brezno District, in the Banská Bystrica Region of central Slovakia.
Etymology
[edit]The name originates from German Tiergarten (initially a hunting area, literally animal-garden). This name was adopted into Slovak as Telgárt. Between 1948 and 1990, the village was named Švermovo, after a Czech communist resistance fighter and participant in Slovak National Uprising, Jan Šverma. The Hungarian name, Garamfő, means "the spring/source of Hron", as the Hron river begins just a few kilometers east of Telgárt.
History
[edit]In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1326, in 1549 it was referred as Thygart.[citation needed]
