The main purpose of the paper was to give a picture of the development and the status of historical geography in Slovakia by presenting a list of literature dealing with historical geography. The development of this field of study can be divided into four main periods. During the first period (before 1918), we can emphasize the role of authors who could be considered first historical geographers in Slovakia and who significantly influenced the subsequent development of this discipline. The real beginning of this discipline falls into the subsequent period between 1918-1945. F. Bokes was the most significant figure in historical geography. During the third period (1945-1989) historical geography became a full-scope science in Slovakia. Theoretical definition of the discipline was first worded by geographer J. Martinka. From the beginning of the 1960s the most famous name connected with this discipline is J. Zudel. After 1989 the interest in historical geography and all its aspects, the physical, humane and political one, rose significantly. The increased interest is documented by the list of university courses focusing on this field of study which is attached to the paper. Regarding this point, the author points out that beside two geographical universities, historical geography is currently also lectured at six historical universities.
