History
The name of Kishegyes was first mentioned in historical documents in 1476. The village became totally destroyed under Turkish occupation in the 16th century. It was repopulated in 1769 by 81 Roman Catholic Hungarian families from Békésszentandrás. The region is extremely well suited for agriculture and the village increased in wealth and population until the 1980s. In the 1990s the local economy was ruined and young people began to emigrate to Hungary. Today the rate of unemployment is appr. 30 percent, and the Agricultural Cooperative and the Commercial Company went bankrupt. After the end of the civil war in Croatia and Bosnia (1995–96) Serbian refugees arrived to Mali Iđoš (Kishegyes). There are no ethnic tensions between native Hungarians and the Serbian refugees.
