History
The first settlement here became deserted when the Tatars invaded Hungary. The new settlement was already an oppidium in the 15C, which means it was a small town with some privileges. During Turkish times it became deserted again. Its new owners called Vendish and Croatian settlers, so in the 18C it was a flourishing small town again. When in the 20C the first spa was built, it became popular for its bathing culture as well. After the World Wars Nagyatád had to deal with some serious problems, but after some develops it got the title of town again.
