In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Medina like this:
Medina, river, Isle of Wight; rises in S. of island, at the foot of St Catherine's Down, and flows 12 miles N. past Newport (where it becomes estuarial) to the Solent at Cowes; it divides the island into the 2 liberties of East Medina and West Medina - East Medina, 46,137 ac., pop. 32,588; West Medina, 45,911 ac., pop. 20,227.
