History
Gyula refused to allow the Arad-bound railway to cross through the town in 1858 - a development welcomed by Békéscsaba, 20km to the west. As a result, Gyula was stuck at the end of a spur and developed at a much slower pace. In 1950 the county seat was moved from here (after 500 years, Gyulans like to point out) to its sister city, Békéscsaba. Gyula is still seething and a strong rivalry persists between the two: from who should be allocated more county money, to whose football team and sausage is better.
