 History 
The first written mention of the village as Wylak dates back to 1472, when it was the property of the Gagyi family. In the Middle Ages it was considered a wine-producing place. During the Turkish occupation it was depopulated, after which it was settled partly by Hungarians and partly by Rusyns. In the 1800s, the village was merged with the village of Szanticska, then it was called Újlak-Szanticska. Since 1901 it has been called Abaújlak.
