Early cultures

The Venus of Lúdvár

The area of ​​today's Gyálarét was already settled in the Stone Age. The Szeged Móra Ferenc Múzeum carried out excavations in the 1960s (or according to other records in the 1970s), with traces of a 7700-7800-year-old settlement being discovered. The settlement already belongs to the Neolithic Age , which began in the Carpathian Basin with the appearance of the Körös culture and the Starčevo culture . With the help of radiocarbon dating , finds at the Gyálarét-Szilágyi homestead were dated to 7090 ± 80 BP.

The population at that time consisted of the Körös and Starčevo cultures as well as the Mesolithic hunters and gatherers who lived there. The oldest finds of the Körös culture from around 5140 BC were made in the area. Discovered. The Stone Age finds include a four-centimeter cult statuette , the so-called Lúdvári Vénusz . It is currently (2008) in the Tornyai János Múzeum in Hódmezővásárhely .

Middle Ages and Modern Times
The name Gyála was first mentioned in 1411. The place was destroyed in the 16th century and finally settled again in 1647. After the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the Venetian-Austrian Turkish War at the beginning of the 18th century, the place was under the rule of the Habsburgs. The population consisted largely of Serbs .

19th century
During the revolutionary times of 1848 and 1849 there was also fighting in Gyálarét:

The memory of the successful battle of Gyálarét (March 26, 1849), when Hungarians confiscated many weapons and wagons and took 30 prisoners after a two-hour battle against Serbs still lived in the memories of the manors. "
"A tanyák népének emlékezetében még élt a sikeres gyálaréti csata (1849. március 26.), amikor a magyarok a szerbekkel szemben kétórai heves harc után rengeteg fegyvert, társzekeret is ejtette elkot és 30oztak."

The former kuk Oberleutnant Sándor Igmándy led the Hungarian troops there from 1848 to 1849. After the struggle for freedom he headed the audit office in Somogy County , where he died on July 13, 1877 in Kaposvár .

In the 1850s, the Tisza was diverted as part of a regulation so that the Gyála was no longer separated from the rét ("meadow or meadow"). Thus arose Altwasserbereich Gyálaréti-Holt Tisza .

20th century
With the Treaty of Trianon , the Tisza became a border river in this part of the country. The inner part of Gyála belonged to Serbia , Nagyrét, consisting of Fehérpart, Szilágy and Lúdvár on the other side of the river remained Hungarian. As part of later land reforms , these areas were divided into smaller units. At the Szilágyi farmstead, impoverished farmers and workers in Szeged and the surrounding area began to build a new settlement.
