The creation of miners' apartments began in 1943 around the [[Coal mining|mine]]. Mining was interrupted in the autumn of 1944, and the equipment was hidden in the mine, because of the [[Hungary in World War II|war]]. At the beginning of 1945, the apartments were once again filled with miners, and the operation of the mine started again in 1948. The settlement was named Petőfibánya (''Petőfi mine'') in 1949 after the Hungarian poet [[Sándor Petőfi]]. The mined coal was processed at the {{Interlanguage link|Mátravidék Power Plant|lt=Mátravidék Power Plant|hu|Mátravidéki Erőmű}}. A doctor's office was built after 1950, together with a dentist's office, the cultural center, sports fields, the school and houses with gardens were built. The effective work of the miners was recognized with state awards in 1959. The appearance of [[open-pit mining]] marked the end of mining in the settlement. The mine was closed in 1967, as extraction became more economical in [[Ecséd]] and [[Visonta coal mine|Visonta]], but the lignite wealth remained. However, the population did not leave the [[Mining community|mining settlement]], but remained and started [[commuting]] to other places.

==Politics==
Petőfibánya is a small [[planned city]] established between 1945 and 1965. Originally there was a small settlement on the site called Pernyepuszta. A coal mine was established in 1942 and exploitation of the local [[lignite]] reserves began in October 1945. The settlement was renamed to Pernyebánya that year, and Petőfibánya in 1948 (''bánya'' means "mine" in Hungarian).

The mine was operated by the Petőfi Mining Company that built a power plant in nearby [[Lőrinci]]. Petőfibánya was part of [[Lőrinci]] until 1989 when it became an independent municipality. The mining company also established a mining machine plant in Petőfibánya. Other industrial activities appeared later. The town was given its present name after the state owned company which bore the name of [[Sándor Petőfi]], the national poet of Hungarians.

In the 1950s and 1960s block houses and public buildings were erected in the typical [[Socialist realist]] style of the era. Petőfibánya never became an important industrial city because lignite mining halted in the middle of the 1960s. The development of the town came to an abrupt end.

The economic consequences of the 1989 change hit Petőfibánya hard. In the 1990s unemployment was more than 30 percent and many people left the town. Today Petőfibánya is a quiet backwater and a strange "[[open-air museum]]" of the 1950s [[urban planning]] policies.
