We meet the name of the village for the first time in a document from 1252, where Villa Medwe is mentioned as the property of Bratislava Castle. Contemporary documents even mention two villages called Medveďov, Veľký and Malá Medveďov.
Little Bear is also mentioned as Kenderesmedve. The past of the village is inextricably linked with the Danube. Below the village in the place of today's bridge was located the so-called. Deer ford, where the herd of deer and roe deer crosses the state border at low water levels. Even lower was the island of Cholera, where patients were interned until the 19th century during the cholera epidemic. At the time of the Turkish invasion, the village opposite Györ on the left bank of the Danube was completely looted and destroyed. At that time, the Catholic church also disappeared, which could be one of the churches built according to the decree every ten municipalities will build a church issued by Stephen I.
This first church in Mezzičiliz is also mentioned in Pázmány's inventory as the old one. After the expulsion of the Turks from Hungary, German colonists settled here, who call the village Weisskirchen / White Church /. In 1634, the village belongs to the Komárno county and its landowners are the Héderváryi family and the Rab chapter. The village was without a church for a long time, the believers built a new classicist church again only in 1800, but it burned down in 1855, it was restored in 1860. In the last century there was a steam company, today there is a bridge in the place of the ford. By crossing this bridge on November 5, 1938, Hungarian troops began to occupy Žitný Ostrov in accordance with the Vienna Arbitration.
