History 

Árpádian settlement, first mentioned in a charter in 1067 .

It was formed from the 19th century merger of Dombrád and Óntelek . In the 13th century it was owned by the Hont-Pázmány family , then by the Kállayak, from 1386 by the Cudars of Ónod.

As a result of the overpopulation that developed at the beginning of the 20th century , migration to America was strong ( 111 inhabitants by 1930 ).

Between 1951 and 1953 , 400 intellectuals from the capital, including Jews who had escaped from the death camp, were settled in the village’s landlords called kulaks, and after Hortobágy it was referred to as the second largest gulag ( Gulag , forced labor camps in the former Soviet Union ).

In 1999 , it was awarded the title of the most flowery village in Hungary , the second most flowery village in Europe . 2000 . on July 1, it received city status. 

The centuries-old Tisza révátkelő place in 1923 in Dombrád wooden pontoon bridge and ferry crossing between established and Cigánd, which in 1990 secured to the transport of Rétköz and Bodrogköz between. After its demolition, the reinforced concrete bridge built at Tiszakanyár took over this task.
