history
The upper valley of the Lower Beczwa existed until the 16th century with dense forests and was unpopulated. In the course of the 16th century, the first Pasekaren taverns emerged in the municipality. The lords of Zierotin on Rožnov colonized the valley between the 16th and 17th centuries. The settlement was initially only differentiated into Lower Becžwa and Upper Becžwa . In 1640 about 100 Wallachians settled at the transition between the two villages . At the beginning of the 18th century, the elongated settlement Becžwa was divided again and in 1717 the municipality Mitter Becžwa was mentioned for the first time. During this time, the Hutisko glassworks were moved to the Kněhyně Valley. The village was parish to Rožnov until 1732, after which it belonged to the district of the new parish church of St. Josef in Hutisko. In 1775 there was a bailiwick with a grinding mill and a pestle in Mitter Becžwa . In 1790 the place consisted of 100 houses and had 950 inhabitants. In the 19th century the Kinsky counts were the landlords. The inhabitants of the village were almost all illiterate until the 19th century. The first instruction was given by a hermit on the Radhošť ridge in the Pustevny hermitage . In 1820, some better-off families sent their children to the schools in Hutisko, Bacov and Kněhyně. Later there was also teaching in Mitter Becžwa . In 1846 the community was referred to as Mittel Betschwa or Prostřednj Beczwa . The glassworks ceased operations in the middle of the 19th century. Until the middle of the 19th century, the village was always subject to the Rožnov rule.
After the abolition of patrimonial Prostřední Bečva formed from 1850 a political municipality in the district administration Valašské Meziříčí . Its inhabitants made a living from cattle breeding, forest work, logging and rafting on the Bečva. A large proportion hired out as seasonal workers in agriculture. At the same time, an increasing emigration to the United States began. Between 1876 and 1879 a new school building was built in Prostřední Bečva, but the school remained a branch of the Bacov School until 1924. A new school was also built in Kněhyně in 1887. Towards the end of the 19th century, the mountains were increasingly sought after by those seeking relaxation, and in 1891 the first tourist hotel was built in Pustevny. In 1900 there were 1678 people in Prostřední Bečva. The population consisted of 1619 Catholics, 47 Reformed and six Lutherans and six Jews. The first small businesses emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. From 1910 the municipality belonged to the Vsetín District. In 1924 there were two sawmills and a brick factory with a hydroelectric power station in Prostřední Bečva. In addition, there was also a knitwear factory between 1919 and 1930. Between 1932 and 1948, interrupted by the war, the road to Pustevny was built. In 1972 classes in Prostřední Bečva ceased, and in 1979 the school in Kněhyně also closed. Lessons are taught up to the 5th grade in the primary school in Bacov. There are two kindergartens in the community. In 2001 the church and the cemetery were consecrated. The community has had a coat of arms and a banner since 2001.
