Košická Polianka (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈkɔʂitskaː ˈpɔlɪɐŋka]; Hungarian: Lengyelfalva [ˈlɛɲɟɛlfɒlvɒ]) is a village and large municipality in Košice-okolie District in the Kosice Region of eastern Slovakia.

History

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1335 by its Hungarian name Lengenfolua when it belonged to Drugeth and Cudar families which possessed Trstené pri Hornáde.

The village later became a Kassa (now:Košice) town estate and successively it belonged to the Palasthy family. According to legends, the village seems to have been established by Polish settlers.
