History of the village ...

For the first time the village is mentioned in a document from 1438 under the name Leskowecz, as the property of the Budatín castle estate. Sigismund of Luxembourg donated Budatín dominion to Juraj of Hatný in 1436. In 1438, Albrecht Habsburgs ordered him to reamble / re-design, repair, and repair the Turin Convention / Monastery under Zniev at the request of George and his brothers. From this document we learn for the first time that the Budatín dominion at that time belonged to Budatín, Chlmec, Vranie, Dubie, Kysucké Nové Mesto, Kysucký Lieskovec, Budatín Lehota, Nesluša, Povina, Radoľa, Brodno and Zádubnia. The origin of the village itself can be dated to the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries, because in the first half of the 13th century only a part of the lower Kysuce was settled - the settlement Radoľa and the settlement Jesesin / Kysucké Nové Mesto /, which originated on customary law. The other territory was unpopulated, covered with forests and formed a border line between Hungary and Poland. At the beginning of the 16th century, the village of Kysucky Lieskovec and the village of Shamajas passed through Wallachian law. Wallachian law was the sum of legal norms and customs that governed the Wallachian population and corresponded to the alpine way of gelding. Valasi started in Slovakia to migrate v14. from the Wallachia in Romania and the core of the settlers were Romanians and Ruthenians. Thanks to the breeding of more resistant sheep that were able to graze harder grass, Valasi began to farm unused mountain meadows and pastures. While older sheep farming mainly focused on meat and wool production, Wallachian sheep farming was mainly focused on milk and cheese production.

As the Wallachian and indigenous people of Slovakia gradually merged into one ethnic group, the Klasice and Kysuce were mostly Slovak origin. In the past, the inhabitants of Kysucky Lieskovec dealt with agriculture, farming, shepherding, tinkering, shingles and fishing. After 1918 they made their living by sowing, making rivers, knitting bast beds and basketballs. There was also a peddler shop.
