Újszász is a town in Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County, located in the central part of the Great Hungarian Plain, spanning 58.20 square kilometers. Geographically defined by the Zagyva and Tápió rivers flowing near its borders, the area possesses rich, fertile agricultural lands. Historically, Újszász was a key estate of the Orczy family, a noble lineage that heavily influenced its architectural heritage. The late 19th-century Orczy Castle, enveloped by a 23-hectare English landscape garden functioning as a protected nature reserve, serves as the town's most prominent landmark. A critical turning point in the town's history was the expansion of the railway network; Újszász became a major junction connecting lines towards Budapest, Szolnok, and Hatvan. This infrastructural advantage drove much of its demographic growth. Elevated to town status in 1997, Újszász today is sustained by agriculture, light manufacturing, and its continued role as a regional transport hub.
