Dolná Strehová (Hungarian: Alsósztregova) is a village and municipality in the Veľký Krtíš District of the Banská Bystrica Region of southern Slovakia.
The name comes from Slavic strъg-, strěg-: to watch, to guard.[1] 1245 de villa Stregowa, 1250 Stregoa, 1310 de Strigua, 1349 poss. Stregoua, 1393 Ztregua, 1461 Stregwa, 1487 Ztrehowa, 1808 sk. Dolnj Střehowá, hu. Asló-Sztregova and sk. Hornj Střehowá, hu. Felső-Sztregova.[1]
The village belonged to many feudatory families. In 1534 it passed to Léva town (today Levice, Slovakia). In the 18th century it belonged to the Esterházy family. In 1920, by the Treaty of Trianon, it became part of the newly formed Czechsolovakia. In 1938, by the First Vienna Award, it was returned to Hungary until the end of World War II, when it became part of Czechsolovakia again. Since 1993, it is part of Slovakia.
