History

[edit]

The northern part of the settlement (Halmaj) was owned by the Szólok family, the south (Ugra) was owned by the Aba family. Márk Bessenyei became the property of Halmaj from 1322, Balázs Ugrai owned Ugra from 1345. After the extinction of the Ugrai family, King Albert gave Ugra to the Kompolti family in 1438. The population fled in 1549 from the Ottomans, but in Ugra 10 families were recorded in 1556. The population also returned to Halmaj in the 1570s, the owner of the settlements was Omar, the Bey of Hatvan. During the 17th century, the settlements became depopulated again. Slovak settlers arrived in Halmaj in 1697, but Ugra resettled only in 1718 with the arrival of the three German family. The St. Catherine Church was built in 1720 in Ugra and the St. Emerich Church in Halmaj was built in 1733. Both are Baroque style.[1] Halmaj was owned by the Gosztonyi, Almásy [fr], Balogh, Sípos, Somodi, Csontos families, Ugra is the property of Bossányi [hu], Haller, Orczy [fr] and Taródy families in 1770. In agriculture wheat, maize and grape production have become dominant.[2] In 1907, the organization of the Hangya Cooperative [hu] brought a significant change at the initiative of Count Sándor Károlyi [hu]. The Gypsies could arrive at the settlement at the beginning of the 20th century and lived in a separate outskirts until a flood in 1974 was destroyed, then settled in the village.[3] The two settlements were united under the name Halmajugra in 1950. Two cooperatives were formed with the leadership of Béla Szalóki and Péter Koska after 1959, but they were no longer economical and therefore united in 1967. Regional cooperation was needed in agriculture by 1975, but the major sector remained viticulture.[4] Lignite open-pit mining began on the outskirts of the village from 1963. 36 houses were demolished in 1994, because it was located above the lignite field. The masonry and construction elements factory (Ytong [de]) were built on the outskirts of the settlement in 1983.[5]
