history
The place was mentioned in writing for the first time in 1273 in connection with the Liptov castle as Medecus , then in 1286 as Medekus Potoka as part of a donation of land ; the names probably refer to numerous mineral springs in the area, which gradually came to the municipality of Bešeňová . In the 13th century an important trade route led from Altsohl to Poland through Potok. The village belonged to families from the lower nobility such as Potocky and Kubinyi .
