In 1875 was built on this place touristic cottage "Jozefova chata / Jozef's cottage" by company "Uhorsky karaptsky spolok / Ugrian Carpathian society".
This place around settlement was know for gold finders and cow-boy. In the end of 19 century Jozef Szentiványi built another 15 touristics objects around mountain lake with total capacity 140 beds. Best know was Villa Maria Terezia.
[SK] Historicke pociatky osady siahaju do roku 1872, ked pri plese na juhovychodnom brehu, postavil zemepan Jozef Szentivanyi zrubovu polovncku chatku, ktorú vyuzivali i turisti. Roku 1875 tu Uhorsky karpatsky spolok stavia turisticku Jozefovu chatu.
Tieto miesta však boli zname uz davno predtym, prvym priekopnikom tatranskej turistiky, hladacom zlata i pastierom dobytka. Do konca 19.storocia Jozef Szentivanyi v blizkosti plesa vybudoval 15 dalsich objektov s kapacitou 140 lozok, z ktorych najznamejsia bola Vila Maria Terezia.
