geography
The municipality is located in the Slovakian Danube lowlands near the Danube and thus also the state border with Hungary . The stream Mužliansky potok flows southwest of the place . The almost 24.5 km² large municipal area is covered by floodplain, black and brown earth. Away from the Danube, the altitude increases at the transition to the small hilly Belianske Kopce (up to about 220 m nm ). The maximum north-south extension of Slovakia is about 197 kilometers from Obid to Skalité . The center of the village lies at an altitude of 116 m nm and is eight kilometers from Štúrovo , 43 kilometers from Komárno and 51 kilometers from Nové Zámky .
history
The place was first mentioned in writing as Ebed in 1237 and belonged to the Muzolai family until 1270 . After that he was in possession of the Gran chapter or the Archdiocese of Gran . In 1543 two places, namely Nagy Ebed and the single farm Kis Ebed , were mentioned. In 1543 and 1663 the village was ravaged by the Ottomans and was temporarily uninhabited. In 1664 there are 50 households registered under the Ottomans.
In 1828 there are 185 houses and 1,136 inhabitants who lived from agriculture, fishing and viticulture. After the catastrophic flooding of the Danube in 1876, the village was rebuilt further away from the Danube and a protective dam was also built by the end of the 19th century.
The place in Gran County belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary until 1919 and then became part of Czechoslovakia . Due to the First Vienna Arbitration Award , he was again in Hungary from 1938 to 1945.
In 1976 the village was incorporated into the town of Štúrovo. After that there was a building ban in Obid because there were plans to build an artificial fertilizer factory on the site. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989 these plans came to nothing and in 1999 the village regained independence.
