History
A 'deed of gift' issued by King Géza I makes mention of Szolnok, then called Zounok, as early as 1075, and it has remained the most important settlement in the Central Plain ever since.
Szolnok has had its share of troubles: it was laid to waste more than a dozen times over the centuries. The last disaster came in 1944, when Allied bombing all but flattened the city and the retreating German troops blew up the bridge over the Tisza.
