history
As in the entire Bács-Kiskun county, in the area of Szabadszállás, after the Mongol storm in 1241, Cumans settled on the largely depopulated land. In 1279 Szabadszállás was first mentioned in a document from Ladislaus IV . During the Turkish Wars in the 16th century, in which the surrounding swamps offered the population a certain protection, 37 households were counted in the village. Shortly after the end of the Great Turkish War, Szabadszállás was attacked and looted by Serbian units in 1703; 27 residents were killed.
During the reign of Queen Maria Theresa , a new church was built in Szabadszállás and the first girls 'and boys' schools were opened. In 1819 the place received market rights . Between 1770 and 1850 the population of Szabadszállás grew from 1700 to over 5000 inhabitants. Industrialization reached the place in the late 19th century when the first steam mill in the region was built and Szabadszállás was connected to the electricity and railway network.
There was a Jewish community in Szabadszállás from around 1850 until their deportation during World War II .
