Miedlingsdorf was first mentioned in documents in the year 1325 known under the name of “Meren“, which has its roots in the Slavic language. In the following years, the name of the village changed a few times: „Mellersdorf“ (1532), „Melesdorf“(1574) and finally in the year 1722 „Miedlingsdorff“.[1]
During the time of the Ottoman wars in Europe from 1529 until 1532 the village was destroyed by the Turkish legions. In the mid of the 16th century the Batthyány governance brought Croatian settlers into this area. Since this point in time, three different nationalities lived in Miedlingsdorf.
According to various documents the village had 160 residents in the year 1792 and already 299 residents in 1836.[1] The population census on 15 May 2001 showed a resident count of 243 people.[2]
