Ilava (Template:Lang-de, Template:Lang-hu) is a town in the Trenčín Region, northwestern Slovakia.

Name

The name is of uncertain origin. The historic medieval names were Lewe, Lewa (the same historic name as Levice), Lewa de cidca fluviom Vag, later Ilava.[5] The form Illava is known from the 19th century and was used after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867.[5]

History

The first written reference to the town dates from 1332/1337, the town charter stems from 1339.[citation needed] The settlement developed below a Gothic castle (bearing the same name) from the 13th century, turned into a Renaissance fortification in the 16th century, into a monastery in 1693 and finally, in 1856, into a prison. A concentration camp was in the prison in 1938.[citation needed]

In 1431 the Battle of Ilava was fought between the Hussites and Hungarians.

According to the 2001 census, the town had 5,441 inhabitants. 98.1% of inhabitants were Slovaks, 0.9% Czechs and 0.1% Roma and Hungarians.[6] The religious makeup was 87.2% Roman Catholics, 7.9% people with no religious affiliation, and 1.2% Lutherans.[6]
