The inhabitants of the village referred to their community as Gadatsch in their local Hessian dialect. Settlers established Gadács, from nearby Somogydöröcske in 1814. Like the families in their former community they were Lutherans and became a filial of the Mother Church in Somogydöröcske. Later, settlers from the Tolna also moved into the community.
