Ököritófülpös
village in Hungary
Ököritófülpös is a village in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary.
Location
It is located in eastern region of the county on the Szatmári plain. Today the entire settlement lies on the left bank of the Szamos, but before the regulation of the river, only the present-day Ököritó and Mácsa settlement parts fell on the left bank, Fülpös was on the other side. The former river section that divided the present-day settlement into separate parts is now a backwater, which winds from Cégénydányád almost all the way to the border of Nábrád, approximately 25 kilometers long.

In 1910, a fire in a barn during a dancing-party known as the Fire of Szatmárököritó killed at least 312 people.
Geography
It covers an area of 33.43 km2 (13 sq mi) and has a population of 2015 people (2001).

Why this record matters
The phrase “village in Hungary” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1089699. Authority coordinates are 47.918, 22.509. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1910, 2015 and 2001.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
