Geographical location

Location of Nădlac in Arad County

Nădlac is located in western Romania directly on the border with Hungary , to the east of the Hungarian Great Plain , on the north bank of the river Mures ( Mures ). The district capital Arad is located about 45 km to the east.

history

The present city was first mentioned in 1192 under the name Noglok . At that time it belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary . In 1474, King Matthias Corvinus gave the Nagylak rule to the Serbian aristocratic Jakšić family. In May 1514 rebellious peasants under György Dózsa clashed with an army of Hungarian nobles near the village and defeated them. In 1551 the Turks won rule over Nădlac and subsequently fought with the Principality of Transylvania . During this time the place was fortified . Then Nădlac came to Austria-Hungary . In 1752 the place received the status of a city. From 1803 onwards, a large number of Slovaks settled in the village, which until then had been predominantly inhabited by Wallachians . They came from Tótkomlós in the south-east of today's Hungary and from central Slovakia. After the Austro-Hungarian Compromise in 1867, Nădlac / Nagylak became the seat of a chair district in the Hungarian Csanád county . In the Treaty of Trianon , Romania took possession of the city, one third of which was then inhabited by Romanians. The railway station in the west of the city with the railway line from Mezőhegyes to Apátfalva remained with Hungary; Nădlac became a border town. The new village of Nagylak developed around the station on the Hungarian side , which today has around 600 inhabitants and forms its own municipality.

The most important branches of industry are agriculture, wood processing and the textile industry.
