Hajdúdorog

Hajdúdorog is a town in Hajdú-Bihar county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary. In 2001, 80.9% of the population of Hajdúdorog was Greek Catholic.

It is located at 47.81667°N, 21.5°W. Hajdúdorog had a population of 8797 in 2014 (down from 8888 in 2006), with a population density of 89,97 people per km². The city is 130 m above sea level and the district area is 100.65 km².

The city is one of the so-called "old haiduk towns" and appears to have been inhabited since Paleolithic times, but the first written records come from 1301. Archaeological remains of the so-called rézbalta culture from 1380–2200BC have been found in the area as have Iron Age Scythians settlements. Roman era tombs were found in the area in 1938. The Sarmatian, Celtic, and Roman tombs were located near the church and the area appears to have been the frontier between Roman and Sarmation lands at the time.

Avars immigrated into the area in 567AD and Hungarian Magyars in 896AD. The Ottoman Empire took the town in 1566AD but by the 17th century it was in Habsburg hands.

The City Hall was built around 1660, and remains today despite being damaged during World War II.

Cholera swept the city in the 19th century and in 1843 Hajdúdorog was divided into the seven municipalities. The town's history is presented in the Museum of Local History.

Country - Hungary


Flag of Hungary

Hungary (Magyarország ) is a landlocked country in Central Europe. Spanning 93030 km2 of the Carpathian Basin, it is bordered by Slovakia to the north, Ukraine to the northeast, Romania to the east and southeast, Serbia to the south, Croatia and Slovenia to the southwest, and Austria to the west. Hungary has a population of 9.7 million, mostly ethnic Hungarians and a significant Romani minority. Hungarian, the official language, is the world's most widely spoken Uralic language and among the few non-Indo-European languages widely spoken in Europe. Budapest is the country's capital and largest city; other major urban areas include Debrecen, Szeged, Miskolc, Pécs, and Győr.

The territory of present-day Hungary has for centuries been a crossroads for various peoples, including Celts, Romans, Germanic tribes, Huns, West Slavs and the Avars. The foundation of the Hungarian state was established in the late 9th century AD with the conquest of the Carpathian Basin by Hungarian grand prince Árpád. His great-grandson Stephen I ascended the throne in 1000, converting his realm to a Christian kingdom. By the 12th century, Hungary became a regional power, reaching its cultural and political height in the 15th century. Following the Battle of Mohács in 1526, it was partially occupied by the Ottoman Empire (1541–1699). Hungary came under Habsburg rule at the turn of the 18th century, later joining with the Austrian Empire to form Austria-Hungary, a major power into the early 20th century.
