Partizánske (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈpartizaːnske] ⓘ, meaning "partisan town", formerly: Šimonovany, from 1948: Baťovany, Hungarian: Simony) is a town in Trenčín Region, Slovakia.

Geography

The municipality lies at an altitude of 190 metres (620 ft)[3] and covers an area of 22.29 km2 (8.61 sq mi) (2024).[4]

Partizánske is located in the northern part of the Danubian Hills around 55 km (34.18 mi) from Nitra and 131 km (81.40 mi) from the capital Bratislava, at the confluence of the Nitra and Nitrica rivers, near the Tribeč mountains. The old village of Veľké Bielice is now part of Partizánske.

History

Partizánske is a relatively young town. Its history starts in 1938–1939, when Jan Antonín Baťa of Zlín and his powerful network of companies built a shoe factory in the cadastral area of Šimonovany municipality. The newly created settlement for workers carried the name of Baťovany and was part of Šimonovany. With the growth of the factory, so grew the settlement. The whole municipality was renamed to Baťovany in 1948 and given town status. As a sign of recognition of local inhabitants fighting in the Slovak National Uprising, the town was renamed Partizánske on 9 February 1949.[5] The factory was renamed by communists to Závody 29. augusta (29 August works), and it produced 30 million pairs of shoes and employed around 10,000 people.[6] However, after a failed privatisation in the 1990s, only a fraction is left now.

Note on population: The difference between the population numbers above and in the census (here and below) is that the population numbers above are mostly made up of permanent residents, etc.; and the census should indicate the place where people actually mainly live.
For example, a student is a citizen of a village because they have permanent residence there (they lived there as a child and has parents), but most of the time he studies at a university in the city.
