The place was first mentioned in writing in 1252 as Medwe . The name is either a Hungarian corruption of the Slavic / Slovak word medveď (in German bear) or derived from a proper name. But even before the document was mentioned, there was probably a settlement that served to protect the Donaufurt. Contemporary documents even speak of two places called Medve . In the Middle Ages Medve was a royal estate, part of the estate of the Pressburg Castle , later it belonged to different noble families. In 1869 there are 682 inhabitants; In the 19th century there were still many water mills on the Danube.
The place in Raab County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1919 and then became part of Czechoslovakia. By the First Vienna Arbitration 1938-45 Medve came again to Hungary.
