Our history Its history dates back more than one thousand years. Soon after the original settlement of the magyars in the least years of the 9th century, the people living here had their own church. During the mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241-42 the church, as well as the settlement known as Nánásmonostora, was completely destroyed. Until the 16th century it was a medium sized feudal village with not more than 1000 people. Hajdúnánás is one of the six Hajdú towns It was in Korpona on 12th Decemer 1605 that the Heyducks, foot-soldiers in the army of István Bocskai, Prince of Transylvania, were granted privileges of nobility and permitted to settle down by the prince. The six old towns of County Hajdú were in a particular military community inside the nation. They preserved their independence attained with sword in hand.

The Town Hall Its construction was delayed by the lack of funds that followed the 1848 revolution. Finally, in 1874, it was built by the design of Imre Vecsei, in the eclectic style.
Kossuth Statue In front of the Town hall there stands the full-figure bronze statue of Hungarian revolutionary Lajos Kossuth, often referred to the "father of Hungarian democracy". This work, by János Horvai, was officially unveiled in 1904, in a ceremony that was also attended by Kossuth's son Ferenc.
District court / Student hall The former District Court was build in 1909. The district court, which was formed in 1872, took its place in the building. The original design by local architect Gyula Somogyi was further developed by Ferenc Jablonszky. In 1951 the District Court was dissolved, and the eclectic building currently functions as a student hall of residence.
Kőrösi Csoma Sándor Secondary School Due to the town's proximity to Debrecen, which is often referred to as the Rome of Calvinism, and its strong links with the church there, the secondary school in Hajdúnánás dates back to an early period. The first "Gimnázium" was founded in 1656. The school, operated as a branch of the Debrecen college, initially had four classes, which was increased to six from 1860. The construction of today's school building was completed in 1906. The main building of the school bears the name of the anthropologist Sándor Kőrösi Csoma.
