The town was heavily damaged in the [[1763 Komárom earthquake]].
Between 1850 and 1871 the [[Fort Monostor]] (<em>Monostori Erőd</em>) was built nearby.
After World War II the occupying Soviets built the country's biggest ammunition storage in the Fortress of Monostor. Thousands of wagons of ammunition were forwarded from this strictly guarded area. One of a series of forts, the Monostor is today open to the public as a museum.
Komárom and Komárno are connected by two bridges: The older iron bridge, and a newer lifting bridge. Currently a third bridge is under construction with estimated completion by 2020/2021. The vast majority of its funding coming from the [[European Union]]'s [[Connecting Europe Facility]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.worldhighways.com/sections/general/news/new-danube-river-bridge-to-get-100-million-finance-from-eu/|title = Home}}</ref>
The two towns used to be a border crossing between Czechoslovakia (today Slovakia) and Hungary, until both countries became part of the [[Schengen Area]], resulting in all immigration and customs checks being lifted on December 12, 2007.
