With a population of 118,001, it is the [[Cities of Hungary#Largest cities in Hungary|seventh-largest city]] in [[Hungary]] and the largest in [[Northern Hungary]] and the northern part of the [[Great Hungarian Plain]] ([[Alföld]]). Its development has been ongoing since the 18th century, making it the economic and cultural center of the region. [[Nyíregyháza Zoo]], with over 500 species, is recognized throughout Europe. == Geography == Nyíregyháza is located in [[Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg County]] in the northern Plain region, which also comprises [[Hajdú-Bihar County]] and [[Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County]]. It is located in the center of [[Nyírség]] as an agricultural town. The boundaries of the city are often understood as a very broad frame, because generally the near suburbs are included in them. It is located at the intersections of routes 4, 41, 36, and 38, making the city easy to reach, lying at the crossroads to [[Carpathian Ruthenia|Sub-Carpathia]] and [[Transylvania]]. ===Climate=== {{Weather box |location = Nyíregyháza, 1991−2020 normals, extremes 1980−present |single line = Y |metric first = Y |Jan high C = 1.3 |Feb high C = 4.1 |Mar high C = 10.3 |Apr high C = 17.4 |May high C = 22.3 |Jun high C = 25.7 |Jul high C = 27.5 |Aug high C = 27.7 |Sep high C = 21.9 |Oct high C = 15.8 |Nov high C = 8.8 |Dec high C = 2.3 |year high C= 15.4 |Jan mean C = -1.1 |Feb mean C = 0.9 |Mar mean C = 5.9 |Apr mean C = 11.8 |May mean C = 16.5 |Jun mean C = 19.9 |Jul mean C = 21.6 |Aug mean C = 21.5 |Sep mean C = 16.4 |Oct mean C = 11.0 |Nov mean C = 5.5 |Dec mean C = 0.1 |year mean C= 10.8 |Jan low C = -3.4 |Feb low C = -2.3 |Mar low C = 1.5 |Apr low C = 6.4 |May low C = 10.8 |Jun low C = 14.3 |Jul low C = 15.7 |Aug low C = 15.2 |Sep low C = 10.9 |Oct low C = 6.4 |Nov low C = 2.3 |Dec low C = -1.9 |year low C = 6.3 |Jan record high C = 14.6 |Feb record high C = 18.6 |Mar record high C = 31.0 |Apr record high C = 31.2 |May record high C = 32.7 |Jun record high C = 37.1 |Jul record high C = 39.3 |Aug record high C = 38.2 |Sep record high C = 35.6 |Oct record high C = 27.3 |Nov record high C = 24.1 |Dec record high C = 15.6 |Jan record low C = -23.5 |Feb record low C = -24.0 |Mar record low C = -15.4 |Apr record low C = -4.0 |May record low C = -2.0 |Jun record low C = 3.4 |Jul record low C = 8.2 |Aug record low C = 5.0 |Sep record low C = 0.5 |Oct record low C = -7.2 |Nov record low C = -17.0 |Dec record low C = -19.2 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 29.6 |Feb precipitation mm = 31.0 |Mar precipitation mm = 29.3 |Apr precipitation mm = 43.9 |May precipitation mm = 76.5 |Jun precipitation mm = 64.8 |Jul precipitation mm = 84.4 |Aug precipitation mm = 49.3 |Sep precipitation mm = 61.8 |Oct precipitation mm = 52.5 |Nov precipitation mm = 44.4 |Dec precipitation mm = 48.3 |year precipitation mm= 615.8 |unit precipitation days = 1.0 mm |Jan precipitation days = 7.2 |Feb precipitation days = 7.0 |Mar precipitation days = 6.4 |Apr precipitation days = 8.3 |May precipitation days = 9.8 |Jun precipitation days = 9.3 |Jul precipitation days = 8.9 |Aug precipitation days = 6.6 |Sep precipitation days = 7.5 |Oct precipitation days = 7.6 |Nov precipitation days = 8.6 |Dec precipitation days = 9.2 |year precipitation days= 96.4 |Jan sun= |Feb sun= |Mar sun= |Apr sun= |May sun= |Jun sun= |Jul sun= |Aug sun= |Sep sun= |Oct sun= |Nov sun= |Dec sun= |year sun= |source 1 = infoclimat.fr<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.infoclimat.fr/climatologie/normales-records/1991-2020/nyiregyhaza-napkor/valeurs/12892.html |title=Normales et records pour la période 1991-2020 à Nyiregyhaza | publisher = infoclimat.fr | access-date = March 14, 2022}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=March 2022}}}} ==History== The first written mentions of Nyíregyháza date back to 1209, although it was then called simply ''Nyír'' ('[[birch]]'), after the ''Nyírség'', the greater region in which the city lies. A source from 1326 <!--OR 1236?-->mentions that by then the city already had a [[Church (building)|church]], hence the second part of the name, ''egyház'' (meaning 'church'). By the middle of the 15th century, the town had about 400 inhabitants. In the 16th century, during the [[Ottoman Empire|Turkish]] occupation of Hungary, Nyíregyháza became deserted; it was resettled only in the 1630s–1640s. After the [[Rákóczi's War for Independence|War for Independence]] led by Prince [[Francis II Rákóczi]], the town's population increased. Most new settlers were [[Slovaks]] from the area of [[Békéscsaba]]. In 1786, Nyíregyháza was granted the right to hold four market days a year; by this time the town was the biggest in the county, with 7,500 inhabitants. In the early 19th century, Nyíregyháza was wealthy enough to secure freedom from its [[Feudalism|feudal]] lords, the Dessewffy and Károlyi families. During these prosperous years, the town got a new town hall, a hospital, several schools, and a restaurant by nearby ''Sóstó'' lake ("Salty Lake"). The town's inhabitants took an active part in the [[Hungary#From the 18th century to World War I (1699–1918)|revolution and war for independence in 1848–49]], and after the suppression of the revolution, several were imprisoned, among them the mayor, Márton Hatzel. In the second half of the 19th century, Nyíregyháza became more and more urbanized, and in 1876, became the seat of [[Szabolcs County]] (now part of the larger integrated county [[Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg]]). In 1858, the railroad line reached Nyíregyháza; several new buildings were built, including a telegraph office, the main post office, and the theater. In 1911, the tramway network was complete. After the grim years of [[World War I]] and the [[Hungarian–Romanian War]], Nyíregyháza remained under [[Romania]]n occupation for ten months. Between the two world wars, the city celebrated the 100th anniversary of its independence from feudal landowners. During [[World War II]], [[Jews]] were used as [[Forced labour|forced laborers]] by Hungarians. After the [[Operation Margarethe|German invasion]], more than 6,000 of the city's Jewish inhabitants were [[Holocaust|deported]] to [[Auschwitz concentration camp|Auschwitz]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Pinkas Hakehillot Hungary: Nyiregyhaza|url=http://www.jewishgen.org/yizkor/pinkas_hungary/hun379.html|website=www.jewishgen.org}}</ref><ref name="auto2">{{cite web|last=Seemann|first=Uwe|title=Information Portal to European Sites of Remembrance|url=http://www.memorialmuseums.org/eng/staettens/view/956/Ny%C3%ADregyh%C3%A1za-Holocaust-Memorial27247|website=www.memorialmuseums.org}}</ref> After the war, 2,000 Hungarians were sent to [[Forced labor of Hungarians in the Soviet Union|Soviet labor camps]] (colloquially called ''[[malenky robot]]'', or "little work"). Several buildings were destroyed, too, including the Status Quo Synagogue, whose front wall was preserved and is now displayed in Nyíregyháza's Jewish Cemetery.<ref>[[Grand Rabbi|Chief Rabbi]] Joseph Leifer of Nyíregyháza is buried in the cemetery. He was the son of the world-renowned Rabbi Mordachai of Nadvorna, and settled in Nyíregyháza after World War I, attracting a large following there. His grave is visited annually by thousands of Hasidim.</ref> A monument in the memory of the [[Holocaust]] victims was constructed in 2004.<ref name="auto2" /> From the 1960s, the city grew and developed quickly. Today, Nyíregyháza is one of the most prosperous cities in Hungary, serving as both a center of education and a popular tourist destination. It is known for having a bar in every street. Nyíregyháza is the birthplace of Israeli artist [[Zeev Kun]], who was born here in 1930. ==Population== With a population of 118,001, Nyíregyháza is the seventh-largest city in Hungary. {{Historical populations |type = |footnote = |1870 | 13015 |1890 | 18996 |1900 | 28073 |1910 | 33444 |1920 | 38751 |1930 | 46522 |1941 | 53917 |1949 | 48382 |1960 | 56834 |1970 | 75245 |1980 | 108235 |1990 | 114152 |2001 | 118795 |2011 | 119746 |2020 | 116814 }} {| class="infobox" style="float:center;" | style="text-align:center;" colspan="2" | '''Significant minority groups''' |- !

In the early 2000s, the largest employers were Hübner Flextronics Ltd. and Hirsch's, but during the period of economic recession, many companies eliminated several thousand jobs. Today, the largest public companies are the [[Lego]] Manufacturing Kft. and the [[Michelin]] Hungaria Abroncsgyártó Kft., providing employment for about 3,000 people.

Here you will find the country's only Greek Catholic institution of higher learning, the [[St. Athanasius Greek Catholic Theological College]]. Other religious educational institutions include [[St. Nicholas Greek Catholic Kindergarten, Primary and Secondary School]], [[Nicholas Soja Greek Catholic Primary School and Nursery]] (Huszar Colony). * [[Reformed Churches|Reformed]]: During the 2011 census, 19,662 people, or 16.4% of the population, identified themselves as belonging to this religion (5,956 less than in 2001). The city is part of the [[East Hungarian Reformed Church District]].

Because of the city's [[Szabolcs Hajdu-diocese]] headquarters, especially in the 18th century Nyíregyháza újranépesítő [[tirpákok]] are important in the tradition of the Church. In 1947, the Hungarian-Slovak population exchange greatly contributed to the decrease in the number of believers. The denomination of the oldest and largest local church in the [[Protestant Great Church (Nyíregyháza)|Nyíregyháza Lutheran Church Great Church]], other churches: Evangelical small church, Nyíregyháza-Garden City Augsburg Confession Lutheran Church meetinghouses, Nyíregyháza Lutheran Church III. area Borbánya church Rozsrétszőlősi Bethlehem Lutheran church, the church Nyírszőlős Lutheran Church.

The St George the Martyr Orthodox chapel falls under the [[Hungarian Orthodox Diocese]]. == Transportation == National road traffic to Budapest goes through the [[M3 motorway (Hungary)|M3 motorway]] and four national highways (4, 36, 38, 41) and the lower state roads, other cities of the country and the settlements of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county. Szabolcs Volán Zrt. Launches long-haul flights to major cities in the region and to larger towns in the country. Due to the nature of the city junction, Nyíregyháza's road network is heavily loaded. The city center is surrounded by a 2X2-lane "highway". And the narrow city center is bordered by the "small boulevard", the northern, eastern and southern parts of which have already been completed. The M3 motorway, which recently reached the city, will hopefully reduce traffic and congestion on roads passing through the city center. At the same time the motorway reached the city, the east bypass (main road 403) was opened, allowing those traveling between Budapest and Záhony to avoid the city. Those coming to Debrecen no longer have to cross the city. The Nyíregyháza ring road includes the already completed 403 road and the M3 motorway south of the city. The missing parts of the ring road are Highway 338 (already authorized, but with an unknown construction date) in the west and the northern sector. The most important of its railway connections is the 100 electric tram line between Szolnok and Záhony, from where the number 80 line to Tokaj, 113 line to Mátészalka and 116 line to Vásárosnamény branch out. Nyíregyháza is the final stop of the Ohat-Pusztakócs-Nyíregyháza railway line, which provides passenger traffic to Tiszalök. Next to the station are the Nyírvidék small railway to Dombrád and Balsa, which closed in December 2009. Nyíregyháza is one of the busiest railway stations in the country. There are InterCity flights to Budapest every hour to Debrecen and Miskolc. Nyíregyháza welcomes visitors to the city in a new and modern station building.<gallery class="left"> Image:Nyirtrain.JPG| Central Train station Image:Nyíregyháza line 23.jpg| Solaris Urbino on Line 23 </gallery> == Tourist sights == [[File:nyíregyhaza cathedral.jpg|thumb|right|Nyiregyháza's Roman Catholic church with the newly built fountain in the foreground]] [[File:Nyiregyhaza megyehaza.jpg|thumb|County Hall]] [[File:Nyíregyháza Zoo, Aquarium, underground passage.jpg|thumb|[[Nyíregyháza Zoo]]]] Nyíregyháza also has several museums and exhibitions, showing the city's rich cultural heritage. * Collection of the International Medallion Art and Small Sculpture Creative Community of Nyíregyháza-Sóstó – periodic exhibitions of works of contemporary artists == Politics == The current mayor of Nyíregyháza is [[Ferenc Kovács (politician, born 1960)|Ferenc Kovács]] (Fidesz-KDNP).
