Tiszaujvaros

Few cities in Hungary’s Great Plain and North region have a history as closely tied to socialist-era chemical industrialisation as Tiszaújváros. Set beside the Tisza River in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County, it was built from 1955 as a planned town to support the new Tisza Chemical Combine. The settlement was called Leninváros from 1970 until 1991, preserving a clear reminder of the political era that shaped its broad avenues and housing estates. Chemical production remains central to the local economy, while the Tisza connects the city to Hungary’s great lowland river corridor.
