Medveďov (Hungarian: Medve, pronounced [ˈmɛdvɛ]) is a border village and municipality in the Dunajská Streda District in the Trnava Region of south-west Slovakia.
Geography
[edit]The municipality lies at an altitude of 111 metres (364 ft)[citation needed] and covers an area of 10.38 km2 (4.01 sq mi) (2024).[5] The village lies near the border with Hungary, near the Danube.
History
[edit]In the 9th century, the territory of Medveďov became part of the Kingdom of Hungary. The name of the village was first mentioned in 1252 as Willa Medwe castri Posoniensis (Medve village of the Pozsony Castle). Until the end of World War I, the village was part of Hungary and fell within the Tószigetcsilizköz district of Győr County. After the Austro-Hungarian army disintegrated in November 1918, Czechoslovak troops occupied the area. After the Treaty of Trianon of 1920, the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia. In November 1938, the First Vienna Award granted the area to Hungary and it was held by Hungary until 1945. After Soviet occupation in 1945, Czechoslovak administration returned and the village became officially part of Czechoslovakia in 1947. The village suffered a major flood in 1895, 1956 and on 17 June 1965.
