Ózd [ ˈoːzd ] is a Hungarian city in the district of the same name in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County . After Miskolc county seat , Ózd is the second largest city in the county .
Geographical location
Ózd is located in northern Hungary , almost 40 kilometers northwest of the city of Miskolc and four kilometers south of the border with Slovakia .
history
The name of the municipality (derived from the name of the Oghuz people ) was first mentioned in 1272. The present city was formed in 1940 from the municipalities Ózd, Bolyok and Sajóvárkony and received town charter in 1949.
Seven hundred Jews lived in the city in 1941. After the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944, the Hungarian administration of the city ordered the formation of a compulsory ghetto in May. From there, Ózd's Jews were deported to Auschwitz concentration camp in June 1944 .
In 1978 other places were incorporated, including Hodoscsépány , Susa , Szentsimon and Uraj .
In the second half of the 19th century the steel industry settled here. However , Ózd only developed into a real industrial city under socialism . Ózd was next to Miskolc , Kazincbarcika and Tiszaújváros location of the Borsod industrial area. After 1990, the importance of heavy industry fell significantly, as a result of which unemployment in the catchment area rose sharply.
