The history of Hajduszoboszlo goes back to the period when our ancerstors, the Magyars arrived in the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century. Although we lack the archeological artifacts it can be taken for sure that the arriving tribes settled in this fertile land due to the positive characteristics of the area.The town was first referred to in writing in 1075, in the time of I Géza, when he defined the amount of money the market place Szoboszlóvásár had to pay as a tax.
The area of Hajduszoboszlo used to belong to the Debreczeni family. Other lords of the town included the famous Hunyadi János - the winning hero at Nandorfejervar, and his wife Szilágyi Erzsébet. Later the Turkish troops occupied and distroyed in the town in 1552 and the Cremean Tatars finished the killings off in 1594.
The area did not remain uninhabited for a long time because at the beginning of the 17th century 700 hajdus (special armed cowboys) were settled and the town soon started to develop. It was granted the right to have a market and other priviledges. But before it would have regained its greatness the black series started again with the war of independence led by II Rákóczi Ferenc.
