Hodmezovasarhely Town of County Rank was a populated area even in the ancient ages. Almost six-thousand year old fossils were uncovered at the boundary of the town. The town and its surrounding was enclosed by Lake Hod and the connected river system. The population earned their living from trading and farming. Earlier Hód and Vásárhely had been two separate villages, and then in the 15th century they melted with Abrany and this typical market town of a great territory came to existence. At the time of the Turkish occupation the town had almost completely unpopulated and only after the expulsion of the Turks did the population slowly return. The town began to develop dynamically at the dualistic era and at the turn of the century an enormous process of construction started, which resulted in a basic change in the aspect of Vasarhely to the beginning of the 20th century. Hodmezovasarhely preserved the characteristics of a market town and was surrounded by an extensive system of detached farms. After the Second World War there were constructions in the town therefore housing estates were built and the suburban area began to develop. An industrial plant was built at the boundary of the town although the heavy industry had never been typical in the town. It was the time when the giant factories appeared and they were mostly connected to light industry, agricultural machine building and food processing. After the transition and with the creation of the self-government system Hodmezovasarhely began a dynamical development, particularly on the field of the infrastructure. The conception of development, which was planned then, has almost utterly been made. By the middle of the 90s this development of Hodmezovasarhely was acknowledged by prizes and awards on national as well as on international level. The town got Europe Prize and had outstanding results in canalisation too. A new launder was established and a new computer technical net is about to start working, which is to connect the larger institutions and establishments of the town. The hospital of the town was reconstructed and the reconstruction of the Kakasszek health-resort will have been finished by the end of this year. The plans for the future development of Hódmezõvásárhely are also seem to emerge, the building of an indoor swimming hall and a spa-hotel are about to begin from the fall of this year. The natural treasure of Hodmezovasarhely, which is important for tourism, is its thermal water reserve supplying the swimming-pool and attracting a lot of tourists to the town at summers. The building of a new pensioner residential park became possible thanks for a successful tender. Not only an infrastructural but also a cultural and an artistically upward trend began. It is really important to give the chance of cultivated and pleasant entertainment to the citizens of the town. It is outstandingly important to make the road-section between Hódmezõvásárhely and Algyo 4-striped and the construction of a road that avoids the town and frees it from heavy vehicle traffic. This way Hódmezõvásárhely can also get connected in the motorway system that drives through Middle-Europe. The town might be able to become the most outstanding and most dynamically developing town of the whole region and its citizens can highly be proud of. |
