Hurbanovo (until 1948 Stará Ďala, Hungarian: Ógyalla, German: Altdala) is a town and large municipality in the Komárno District in the Nitra Region of south-west Slovakia. In 1948, its Slovak name was changed to Hurbanovo, named - despite to the will of locals - after Slovak writer Jozef Miloslav Hurban. The village was annexed to Czechoslovakia in 1920.
