History

[edit]

The first documented mention of the settlement dates from 1274 under the name Atyásháza, which marked the central part of the present-day settlement (Homokterenye), the settlement's church, St. Joseph's Church, was also built in the 13th century. King Sigismund donated the village which took his name, to János Homokterenyei in 1418. The southern part of today's settlement (Nádújfalu) appears for the first time in 1426 among the estates of the Iváni family, still under the name Wyfalw. In the Ottoman tax census of 1555, there are 5 houses in Homokterenye and one in Nádújfalu. The Homokterenye family died out in 1563, so the village became the property of András Berényi. Nádújfalu was depopulated in the 16th century due to the destruction of the Ottomans. However, in the 18th century, the population grew again and in 1746, the Exaltation of the Holy Cross church was built in Nádújfalu with a wooden coffer. Nádújfalu in 1871 and Homokterenye in 1874 also burned down. A private siding was built in 1887 from the Mátramindszent railway station to the Mátranovák coal mines, which passed through Homokterenye. A quarry in Nádújfalun, a coal mine was opened north of Homokterenye, the northern part of today's settlement (Jánosakna) was formed due to the latter. In addition to mining, the population made elm brooms and wove linen. Passenger transport started on the railway line [hu] in 1911, and Homoterenye got its own stop in 1914. Jánosakna, Homokterenye, Mátranovák and Nádújfalu had merged, and formed a new village under the name Mátraterenye in 1984. After the closure of the mines Mátranovák separated from the Mátraterenye in 1991, the railway transport ceased in 1994 and the railway was demolished.[1]
