Histoire
Nyíregyháza was first mentioned in written records in 1209, originally named Nyír, referring to the birch trees in the region.
By the 14th century, it had established a church, which contributed to its name meaning "house among birches." The town faced depopulation during the Turkish occupation in the 16th century but was resettled in the 17th century.
It gained market rights in 1786 and experienced significant urban development in the 19th century, becoming the seat of Szabolcs County in 1876.
The arrival of the railway in 1858 and the establishment of a tram network in 1911 marked important milestones.
The city endured hardships during both World Wars, including occupation and destruction of buildings, but recovered to become a prosperous regional center by the late 20th century.
