It serves as the primary urban center for the Érmellék geographical region, an area characterized by its historical wetlands and rolling vineyard-covered hills. The town's history stretches back to the 13th century, and it has long functioned as a vital agricultural marketplace. Its strategic importance grew significantly in the late 19th century with the arrival of the railway line connecting Debrecen to Satu Mare, which turned Valea lui Mihai into an important border crossing and transport hub. The town has a distinct cultural identity, with a majority Hungarian population that maintains rich local customs, language, and architectural styles. Many central buildings reflect the Austro-Hungarian era's elegance, with neoclassical facades and well-kept public spaces. Today, the town's economy is centered around farming, food processing, and cross-border trade. Valea lui Mihai is also known for its local museum and its role in promoting the viticultural heritage of the region, making it an interesting cultural stop in the Partium area.
