Lorinčík

Lorinčík () is a borough (city ward) of Košice, Slovakia. Lorinčík is located in the Košice II district, at an altitude of roughly above sea level. It is one of the westernmost boroughs of Košice and retains its traditionally rural character.

== History == The first written records of Lorinčík date as far back as 1248, when the local area and settlement was known as Gord. The settlement and its name had fallen out of use by the early 16th century, with the name Lorinčík replacing it since the 16th century. The name of the village originated from the chapel, which was dedicated to Saint Lawrence. In the 18th century, Lorinčík was possibly abandoned, as it's missing from most records from the period, though it reemerges again as a settled place by 1808. In the mid-1800s, it's noted as a mostly Slovak village. Lorinčík became a borough of Košice in the 20th century and has had its own municipal government since 1991.
