The village of Orechová Potôň

The name Orechová Potôň (Diósförgepatony) was created in 1808 by merging the then Orechová Potône (Dióspatony) and Förge's Potône (Förgepatony). In 1940, the Dolná Potôň settlement was added to the village. An independent part of the village by the Little Danube is Orechová Potôň - Lúky (Dióspatonyrét).

In the Middle Ages, the individual parts of the village had different developments: Orechová Potôň (Dióspatony) is first mentioned as Gyospothon in 1367. In 1553, the village is a royal property with 10 ports. In 1764 it belonged to Michal Csiba and in the middle of the 19th century to the lord of Lehnice and the count family of Pálffy. Förge's Potôň (Förgepatony) is first mentioned in 1750. Dolná Potôň (Bögölypatony) is first mentioned in 1253 as Bechul. King Louis II in 1524, by his order, he mentions the name in the stool as Beogol-Paton. In 1553 it is mentioned as a royal property under the name Békel-Paton. In the following period, the landowners in the village were the Pálffy family, when the Hungarian king gave it to the Pálffy family as a token of gratitude for the victory of Mikuláš Pálffy over the Turks near the town of Győr. The area of Dolná Potône forms the lower area of Žitný ostrov, which is called Potóň meadows. Before the drainage of this area (from the 19th century) there were large bodies of water, swamps and meadows. Due to the fragmented water management area, several solitudes have emerged in this area, such as Ágerdőpuszta, Füzérfamajor, Vilmos-major, Ásási-puszta, Baranáspuszta, Bögölypatonyi-puszta, Bögölypatonyi-rét, Bögölypatonyi-bét, and Bárányos and the mill of Légráda.
