Hajdúnánás is one of the historically significant 'Hajdú towns' in Hajdú-Bihar County, maintaining the unique social structure and spirit of independence granted to the Hajdú soldiers in the 17th century. The town's circular and radial street layout is a rare example of defensive urban planning from the early modern period, designed to protect the community from invaders. A distinctive cultural trademark of Hajdúnánás is the art of straw weaving, a craft that has flourished here since the 18th century; the local straw hats and decorative items are renowned nationwide and are prominently featured in the local ethnographical museum. The Hajdúnánás Medical Bath is a major draw for health tourists, offering thermal waters rich in sodium chloride, iodine, and bromine, which are highly effective for treating musculoskeletal and gynecological conditions. On the outskirts of the town lies 'Kendereskert', an educational organic farm that showcases traditional pastoral life, ancient Hungarian animal breeds like the Racka sheep and Hungarian Grey cattle, and sustainable farming techniques. The town's economy is traditionally rooted in agriculture and milling, but it has recently diversified into services and tourism. The local identity is reinforced through the 'Nánási Portéka' brand, which supports local small-scale producers and artisans. Culturally, the town is spirited with festivals celebrating Hajdú traditions, horse riding events, and harvest balls, ensuring that Hajdúnánás remains a key cultural and economic hub in the northern Tiszántúl region.
