Parish and Ivanka have been a single political entity since 1932.
In describing the collection of the papal tithe from 1324 - according to preserved church documents - the village is listed under the name Terra Iwan, ie the Land of John. These documents also mention the existence of a church and rectory.
At the beginning of the 15th century, during the period of considerable German influence, Iwand became a German settlement called Aichen. In the 16th century, it passed into the hands of Hungarians, who called it Aicha.
After the defeat of the Hungarians at Mohács in 1526, when the Turks occupied a large part of Hungary, King Ferdinand I issued in 1553 regulation to describe all land courts - ports. Reason: collection of taxes. In this description, the village is referred to as Iwani. Its master was Gašpar Šerédy, a rich landowner in Bratislava County. Another owner of the village was Leonard Amade, then the widow of Tomáš Maholányi and Ján Jesenák.
In the middle of the 18th century, the Ivan estate was bought by Anton I. Grassalkovich, a landowner and a real secret advisor to Queen Maria Theresa. On the site of the manor house, which he gave in 1640 Leonard Amade built, he had a hunting summer house built in the Rococo style. At that time, in the northern part of the area, there were extensive oak forests, which served as hunting grounds, and the manor house with a beautiful Baroque park was used as a venue for various important social events. The new owner of the estate, Anton I. Grassalkovich, in addition to the manor house, also initiated the construction of other important buildings on his property. One of the most important is the Baroque church. He established and built a large farmyard - a mayor and a church school, which was located in close proximity to the church (next to the rectory) and served the Ivančany until 1928, when a primary school was built. After the death of Anton I, the manor was inherited by his son Anton II, who did not continue to increase the family property.
