History

Although the first historical mention of Leithaprodersdorf was in 1232, there is evidence of habitation in the area which predates the historical mention by several hundred years, dating back to the time of the

dike

to stay protected against flooding of the Leitha River.

The city later belonged to the

Austro-Hungarian Empire, and because of its policy of Magyarization, the name of the settlement was changed to Lajtapordány. After the end of World War I

, the city was transferred to the newly split country of Austria. Since 1921, it has been a part of the state of Burgenland.
