History

It was first mentioned as Matiševsko Selo in the Modruš Urbarium of 1486. At the time, it had 4 Morgens of land, and once paid 40 solidi but was without population at the time.^[3]

On the night of the New Year of 2007, a wolf killed the dog of Josip Mateše, a resident of the eponymous village. It was the first recorded winter attack in Bosiljevo Općina.^[4]

In October 2010, a mother and son of the Jurković family who had been at a wedding in Mateše drowned in the accumulation lake on the Donja Dobra at Otok na Dobri after their car fell in, though another son and daughter managed to extract themselves in time.^[5]

The road from Grabrk to Mateše, originally 4 metres (13 ft) wide, was expanded in 2018 to a width of 5 metres (16 ft).^[6]
