History

The village of Aldebrő itself was established under this name only from the beginning of the 1740s, on the site of the medieval village of Csal, which belonged to the village of Debrő as a wasteland from the Turkish subjugation era. The origin of the place name Debrő is the noun "debrő" meaning a wide, flat valley in the old Hungarian language. During the 13th century, Debrő became the center of the manor of the same name. The villages of Csal and Püspüki were also part of the manor.

Why this record matters
