 Palaeolithic man lived in the area, as found in excavations from Kengyel, Túrkeve, and Törökszentmiklós.In ancient times, the settlement was a marginal part of the Sarmatians, as their line of defense is the forefront of the Csörsz trench.By indirect evidence, it is likely that the region played an important role in Attila's era, when it was a connection between the central campsite along the Tisza (perhaps the area of Szeged) and the eastern parts of the empire, as it was possible to turn to the passes of the uncharted Tisza to the northeast of the Carpathian Mountains for the first time.
