History

[edit]

They were also found at the sand mine and the quarry in the 19th and 20th centuries prehistoric tools and mammoth bones, which allow us to infer that the area was inhabited in the Stone Age and Bronze Age. The first written mention of the settlement dates from 1229, under the name Jobbágyi, presumably inhabited by castle serfs. King Charles I donated it to Master Demeter in 1326 after the death of the previous owner, the Zaar family. The village received the right to hold a weekly fair in 1329. In the papal tithe list of 1332, its Gothic style church is already mentioned. It was the property of Miklós Szalánczi in 1344, voivode of Transylvania, who gained the right of ius gladii to the settlement from King Louis I. It was the property of Lőrinc Tari [hu] in 1424 and then in 1465 Michael Ország. According to the Ottoman tax census of 1546, approx. 150-300 people live there. A watermill was built on the banks of the Zagyva in 1715, in which the produced wheat, barley and oats were processed. Jobbágyi inhabited by 14 families at that time. An epidemic in 1778-79, and a fire in 1797 ravaged the settlement. Between 1796 and 1802, the church was rebuilt and expanded in the Baroque style. In the 19th century, viticulture became the most important. It was destroyed by a fire in 1830, then by a cholera epidemic in the next year. On August 23 in 1831, due to the epidemic, there was a rebellion led by Pál Kaszaph, because the fake news spread that the wells had been poisoned. 2 nobles 2 farm officials and the clerk were beaten, the priest had to swear that the nobles had not poisoned the wells. The rebels were later fined. György Sréter built a classicist-style castle in 1821, which later belonged to the Bérczy and Apponyi families. The painter Géza Mészöly lived the settlement after 1882, who painted his picture "Birkanyáj" (The sheep flock) here. In the summer of 1944, the Jewish families of the settlement were deported. The village council in 1951 requested to change the name of the settlement to Kossuthváros, Szabad-Mátra or Szabadságháza, but this was refused by the Ministry of the Interior.[1]
